Autorenporträt
Susan Britt-Gallagher grew up in the northeast of the USA. After completing her education, she travelled across North America, Europe and northern Africa. Thousands of bus, train and cargo ship miles later, she settled down in Switzerland. From November 1997 to January 1998, she spent three amazing months 'living' on St Helena with her husband and their young daughters. That's when she fell in love with the people and the island of St Helena, and thus the first edition of the Bradt guide was born. A lot has changed since then, but the memories of this fascinating island and its wonderful people still remain in her heart. Tricia Hayne stumbled upon St Helena in 2000, when as editorial director of Bradt Travel Guides she commissioned a guide to the remote trio of islands that made up what were then known as St Helena and Dependencies. With a lifelong fascination for islands, she was sufficiently enticed by these mid-Atlantic outposts to come on board for the third and fourth editions. She counts walking, diving and natural history among her interests, has written Bradt guides to the Cayman Islands and - as co-author - to the Turks and Caicos Islands, and has updated several more to a number of African destinations. This edition has been updated by Caitlin and Huw Hennessy, seasoned travel writers who cover the whole world, including Latin America and now Africa and the South Atlantic. Caitlin led one of the first group tours to Saint Helena in early 2019, a trip that inspired a strong desire to return to the island and explore further. This she subsequently did with her husband, also visiting Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Ascension, and gathering lots of new information for the fourth edition of this guide, including preparations for the 2021 Bicentenary of Napoleon's death in exile on the island.
