Too much has been written about Tristan da Cunha to sum up here. Helyer & Swales (1998) assembled thousands of titles, and even they are not complete. Below, I limit myself to books, mainly, except for the sources about Moorhens. I have four categories:

 

1. The real Tristan books and publications

2. Exploration, travel and island books

3. Fiction

4. Moorhen sources
