Steven Thomas Holland, age ten, is the son of the lighthouse-keeper in charge of Lennard Island, a tiny place west of Vancouver Island. There is a population of four: mother, father and brother, David. A gracious host and articulate fan of his beautiful island home, he takes us on a tour and dispels any ideas we might have that living in isolation is boring.
