Takeaways
Description
When legal scholar Austin Tappan Wright died after a tragic accident, he left behind a mysterious legacy: thousands of pages describing the details of Islandia, an imaginary country complete with geography, history, genealogy, literature, language, and culture. Just as J. R. R. Tolkien's middle-earth novels became a classic touchstone for those interested in creating imaginary worlds, so too has Islandia become a classic title for fantasies of its own category.
