Periwinkle Island has a combination of authors. I coordinated the stories as 'time was willing' over 25 years. Ideas were developed by grandmothers and 14 year olds, by lawyers, by aviators, factory workers, accountants, preachers, nurses, librarians, teachers and engineers. The illustrations bring Periwinkle Island alive for young and old. Enjoy!
