The story begins on Dauphin Island; an island in the mouth of Mobile Bay just about the same size as Manhattan; but light year different. The first chapter sets the stage, then flashes back over 100 years. An Island of Lost Toys is a fictional novel that covers three generations. Most Americans have wondered why their early generations left some other country and came to America. It takes powerful motivation to leave ones homeland. About the first fifth of the book deals with the subject as it follows the life of Franz Ludwig (later Shannon). A transitional character Louis Shannon, Franz's youngest son, carries the story through the depression and WWII, about the time Robert Shannon was born. Robert is the central character for the remainder of the book, which is a struggling adventure of career choices, a different version of race relations in the South, and the challenges of a lasting and enduring quest for love. All of that surrounds Colonel Robert Shannon, USMC.

Selected by The New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of the Year A revelatory tale of science, adventure, and modern myth. When the writer Donovan Hohn heard of the mysterious loss of thousands of bath toys at sea, he figured he would interview a few oceanographers, talk to a few beachcombers, and read up on Arctic science and geography. But questions can be like ocean currents: wade in too far, and they carry you away. Hohn's accidental odyssey pulls him into the secretive world of shipping conglomerates, the daring work of Arctic researchers, the lunatic risks of maverick sailors, and the shadowy world of Chinese toy factories. Moby-Duck is a journey into the heart of the sea and an adventure through science, myth, the global economy, and some of the worst weather imaginable. With each new discovery, Hohn learns of another loose thread, and with each successive chase, he comes closer to understanding where his castaway quarry comes from and where it goes. In the grand tradition of Tony Horwitz and David Quammen, Moby-Duck is a compulsively readable narrative of whimsy and curiosity.
