A Dune Adrift

The Strange Origins and Curious History of Sable Island

By Marq de Villiers and Sheila Hirtle

First published 2004 by McClelland & Stewart

The story of Sable Island, a long, shifting sandbar far out in the Atlantic off Nova Scotia: how it formed, the shipwrecks it caused, the people who tried to live there, and the wild horses that still roam it.

For this book Sheila did the reporting on the island itself, they shared the research, and Marq did the writing.
