Mauritius by Alexandra Richards
The contrasting islands of Mauritius, its dependency Rodrigues and the French island of Reunion make up the Mascarene islands. They are each a unique destination in its own right, yet accessible to each other with relative ease. Nature lovers will be drawn to the stark beauty of the Mauritian mountains, the volcanic landscape of Reunion or the coral reefs of Rodrigues. Renowned for their excellent beaches and luxury hotels, these islands are also ideal for independent travellers and sports enthusiasts.

Alexandra Richards was born in the tiny village of Stour Provost in picturesque north Dorset, where she lived until her mid-20s. Career and travel writing then took her elsewhere, but she has always kept a base in Dorset, never wanting to sever ties with the county, and spending time away has given her a new appreciation for - and (visitor's) perspective on - the area. Dorset's hold on Alex has only grown stronger with time and she is now returning to live there full time. Alex has explored the Dorset countryside in a variety of ways, on horseback, on foot, by bicycle and by 4x4. She has a particular interest in natural history and conservation, and enjoys following the work of the Dorset Wildlife Trust. Having grown up in a farming community, she also has a real appreciation for Dorset's local produce, which is some of the finest in the country. Alex's local knowledge - of people, places, traditions and folklore - makes this a truly personal guide and introduces the reader to some Dorset secrets that only a local would know.
