On a lonely island an enchantress guards a goblin flower that offers elvish wisdom and years of youth beyond the lot of mortals. Many have sought the flower, but have been turned to statues of moon-white stone. Now Almintor the hunter arrives with his page Antonio on a quest to steal the flower and win the love of the beautiful shepherdess Naschina. The Island of Statues, a two-act play in verse, was W. B. Yeats' first published work. The play was published in serial form in the Dublin University Review in 1885, but has never before been published as a complete work. This volume also contains the short play The Seeker and "The Song of the Happy Shepherd," intended as an epilogue to both plays.

William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin in 1865, and educated in Ireland and England. He published numerous volumes of poetry, initially influenced by the Romantics and Pre-Raphaelites, and later by Symbolism. He was deeply involved in the Irish liberation movement, and after Ireland's independence served as a senator for two terms. Yeats was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature.
