“Uncovering the people who fill these pages has been a delight. Standing in a churchyard, staring at a name on a gravestone, stepping inside the building where once they stood, seeing the view that they looked upon is its own reward.” This book is an exploration of those characters in history with a strong association with the Isle of Wight, many of them making it their final resting place. Packed with fascinating anecdotes and photographs, Pushing up the Daisies remembers ‘The Famous & Forgotten on the Isle of Wight’.
