Geoffrey Corlett, the Pater Ludorum, or the Island Games "father of the Games" has succeeded in coordinating the documentation of the first ten years of this event for any island around the world with a population of less than 125,000 persons.
Because the Island Games Association helped with the book, the work is packed with graphical material, pictures, mascots, charts, schedules and even reproductions of pages from games newspapers that adds tremendous value and information to the project.
If every games organizing body followed the example of the Island Games Association and compiled a history of their games, the work of historians would be complete.
