Isle of Life


A place, possibly to be identified with the Isle of Wight, where the ancient British kings Gaddifer and Perceforest were said to have enjoyed a prolonged existence.

This life-prolonging island seems to have connections with the Isle of Apples, which Geoffrey of Monmouth makes Avalon, and, by association with Irish mythology, might possibly be identified with the Isle of Man.
