Tasmania: Isle of Splendour was one of Bill Beatty's (1902-1972) most popular travel books. Its pages are filled with both historical facts and impressions from the author's visits.

There are tales of the island's pioneers, bushrangers, mutinies, shipwrecks and grim stories of convict cannibals.

However, the author shows that Tasmania offers more than a history-drenched past. With its scenic variety and many tourist amenities, it is one of the world's greatest fruit-growing centres, boasting expanding industries that even the severe bushfires of 1967 could not curb, and the harnessing of immense water resources for electric power.
