Paul Biddle and his Archipelago of Fantasy Islands

Cloudy Island
Handy Island


Many people have asked the same question: Do Paul Biddles' Fantasy Islands actually exist? The simple answer is No, but here are some comments we have received in the past.

Foot and Mouth Island


Christopher Colombus: I could never make up my mind if it was Nor Nor East or just plain Nor Nor Nor.    21st June, 1498.

Ferdinand Magellan : Whilst completing my first Circumnavigation of the World I happened upon a Strait called Biddle but it led to Nowhere. 1520


                                   

                                              
Nose Island


 Francis Drake : I had always heard the best and most capacious ruffs were made in the Strait of Biddle but I never quite found them.  1590


 Marco Polo : When I was exploring Asia, a dear friend of mine called Kublai Khan mentioned the existence of such an Archipelago but he found it very difficult to pronounce the word Biddle. 1290







Editors Note: It seems highly improbable that these comments bare any semblance of truth.
Although the light-house perched on top of
the fabled Nose Island bares a striking resemblance to Smeatons Tower in Plymouth.

This island is also strictly speaking not an island but a Ship of the Line
in the Fantasy Island Navy and lets face it Mr Conquest and the Good Jemima
sail a pretty ship.

Marvel at the woman with the megaphone and ice skates on her feet.
Whilst looking at the woman with the megaphone through a telescope an ancient mariner made the observation that she looked remarkably similar to the woman who appears in the photograph

Editors Note : We have had countless people enquiring
about Holidays to The Fantasy Island Archipelago.
Due to ecological reasons tourism is strictly limited
and is now fully booked until the year 2020.

  2. Indeed delightful Islands... I can tell, I've been to Nose Island myself.
    And the count Muldivo is quite sympathetic.
