About this deal

Preserved in brine which results in a mild but salty flavour and a firm texture. She tells us of the ancient and misunderstood disease of leprosy, exploring the themes of stigma, shame and the treatment of those who are different, which are as relevant for children as adults. Gill Smith's rich, full-colour illustrations will transport the reader to the timeless and beautiful Greek landscape and Mediterranean seascape. Our Flavoursome Fetta is a scrumptious addition to salads and antipasto. Traditional Fetta cheese made with fresh whole cream dairy milk straight from our farms. If the flame seems too low, pour out a small layer of wax and relight. The absorbing story of the Cretan village of Plaka and the tiny, deserted island of Spinalonga - Greece's former leper colony - is told to us by Maria Petrakis, one of the children in the original version of 'The Island'. We pay deep respect to elders past, present and emerging. The absorbing story of the Cretan village of Plaka and the tiny, deserted island of Spinalonga – Greece's former leper colony – is told to us by Maria Petrakis, one of the children in the original version of The Island.

This is a special book and I know it will remain in our family for years to come. My daughter is engrossed in the book and we have talked about a mothers love for a child and how Maria’s mother would do anything to protect her children. Each of the pictures feels so fun and lovely and I love how all of the characters look.

It’s also just a really great story and one which I will want to read again! This is such a lovely and interesting story. We married here 10 years ago and after reading The Island back then and returning for our 10th Anniversary with our 9 year old I had looked for something that I could share with her to make her trip as memorable as it was for me. When we arrived my parents were already here and mum had found a signed copy of this book in a shop here and bought it for my daughter (this overwhelmed me and I couldn’t wait for us to share the story).

-Thanks to Walker Books for a free copy for review. From the first pages I just loved the look of the story and it was so easy and compelling to get into from the start. We are currently in Elounda. There are even some double page images which look amazing and I love how there are some details to spot.
