A Fine crisp copy in a Near Fine bright unclipped dust jacket with just a touch of wear to the head of the soine. This was the first of Hemingway's fictional works to be published posthumously. Set in Bimini in the 1930s, Islands tells the story of Thomas Hudson, a sculptor, with a passion for the sea, fishing and ultimately protecting the Gulf Stream waters from Nazi submariners. Islands in the Stream encompasses three stories to illustrate different stages in the life of its main character, Thomas Hudson: "Bimini", "Cuba", and "At Sea".
