A collection of Charles E. Martin's delightful picture books set on a remote island off the coast of Maine. First published in the 1980s, they are reprinted here in their entirety, with an introduction by the author's grandson, Christian Martin. The books that are included are Island Winter, Summer Business, For Rent, Island Rescue, and Sam Saves the Day. Each tells a story of the challenges and rewards of small children living in a small community on a remote island.

Enjoyed by generations of children (and adults), these are once again available.
