Annotation | Mostly adventure but includes a flawed utopia, an almost inaccessible island that provides a relaxed life of equality, including gender equality, and freedom. The flaw is that in order to maintain the population at the correct point, childbirth is rigidly controlled, and eugenically imperfect children are killed, as is anyone who tries to leave. |

Illustration | A map of the island appears on the inside front and backer covers. The U.S. ed. has the map as a frontispiece. |
