In this comprehensive exploration, Morris takes readers through various chapters dedicated to individual islands, starting with Jersey and continuing through Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark. Each chapter offers detailed descriptions of the islands' natural beauty, historical sites, and notable events, such as the siege of Mont Orgueil Castle and the treacherous navigation of the surrounding seas.
