J Sands

""Out of the World: Or Life in St. Kilda"" is a non-fiction book written by J. Sands in 1878. The book is an account of the author's experiences living on the remote Scottish island of St. Kilda, which was known for its extreme isolation and harsh living conditions. The book provides a detailed description of the island's geography, climate, flora, and fauna, as well as the daily lives of its inhabitants. The author describes the unique culture and traditions of the St. Kildan people, including their language, dress, and religious practices. The book also details the challenges faced by the islanders, such as food scarcity, limited resources, and the difficulty of communication with the outside world. Overall, ""Out of the World: Or Life in St. Kilda"" provides a fascinating insight into a way of life that has long since disappeared, and is a valuable historical document for those interested in the history and culture of the Scottish islands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
