BIBLIOGRAPHY
 
I did a lot of research in the process of making Island End - over more years than I care to admit… This list is complete to the best of my knowledge. It’s possible a few references have fallen through the cracks… I’m grateful for everyone’s work in creating the sources below – even those that were incorrect or incomplete. Doubt, confusion and contradiction were an important part of the path through the project.
