Begun by local historian Johanna Jones, finished by her friend Penny Keevil and illustrated by Lin Watterson, this is the first book to be dedicated solely to the life of Isabella Di Fortibus the 13th Century ruler and last private owner of the Isle of Wight. Making her home at Carisbrooke Castle she fended off various suitors thus protecting her own independence and that of the Island, finally signing over her lands to the crown on her deathbed.
