Tales From A Famished Land is a book written by Edward Eyre Hunt and published in 1918. The book includes a collection of short stories that are set during the First World War. The stories are based on the author’s experiences as a war correspondent and cover a range of topics, from the horrors of trench warfare to the struggles of civilians caught up in the conflict.One of the stories included in the book is The White Island, which tells the story of a group of soldiers who are sent to a small island off the coast of Turkey during the Gallipoli campaign. The soldiers are tasked with setting up a radio station on the island, but they soon find themselves facing a series of challenges, including hostile locals and the harsh conditions of the island itself.The book provides a vivid and compelling account of life during the First World War, and offers a unique perspective on the conflict from the point of view of a journalist who was on the front lines. It is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the experiences of those who lived through one of the most devastating conflicts in human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
