New England, 1643. In a walled English village crouched at the edge of a
wilderness believed to be haunted by monsters and devil-worshipping
savages, Will Poole chafes against the constraints of Puritan society
and is visited by strange hallucinations that fill him with unease.
Hunting in the forest, he encounters Squamiset, an enigmatic native
elder whose influence will open the door to possibilities well beyond
the narrow existence his upbringing led him to expect. The meeting leads
to a dangerous collision of worldviews, an epic sea voyage, and the
making of an unforgettable friendship. Green Writers Press is thrilled
to present new paperback and audio editions of Will Poole's Island, a
novel of literary adventure, mystery, and wonder that offers readers of
all ages an experience of early America that feels fresh and entirely
relevant to our own times.
