Book excerpt: Hang on for a wildly entertaining crazy adventure in a forgotten corner of the world. Curious Little World is the true, funny, cautionary tale of a Winnipeg couple who flee city life to pursue The Unpatriotic Canadian Dream: escape to a tropical island. In proper bold-lunatic, bridge-burning style, Rex and Cynthia sell all their worldly possessions and buy one-way tickets to St.Helena Island - one of the most remote and isolated islands on earth. On the globe, it's just a solitary fly-speck about midway between Africa and South America. No airplane has ever landed on St.Helena, and only one ship makes regular voyages between the sunny little island and the distant outside world. Cynthia and Rex have bought an abandoned house on the island. A house they've never seen. No plumbing. No electricity. No telephone. Comes with donkey. Their new home overlooks St.Helena's most famous landmark: the house where Napoleon died. According to island folklore, Napoleon put a curse on St.Helena - and on all island endeavors - for all time. Is the couple's dream of tropical island escape cursed? You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll be glad it's not you. And you'll wish it was.
