Product Information

This is the story of two resourceful women. The one, Pamela Stephenson  birographer, mother, wife of Billy Connolly, psychologist and ex-comedienne  the other Fanny Stephenson  the Wild Woman of the West, as her husband Robert Louis called her. Both married to maverick Scotsmen, both in search of adventure and a kind of epiphany, both drawn for a myriad of reasons to the coral islands, lagoons, natives and customs of the South Seas.
A love of Joseph Conrad, a desire to escape the travails of an LA lifestyle and a fascination with her near namesake all conspired to inspire Pamela Stephensons extraordinary voyage to the other side of the world. Following in Fannys wake, Pamelas encounters with the perils of the sea, the islanders  some of whom had never seen a blonde before  and latter-day pirates all make for compelling reading.
Treasure Islands is travel, adventure, history and biography all rolled into one extraordinary book.
