Set against the backdrop of its 1959 opening, the book explores Pleasure Island, a unique theme park designed to rival Disneyland. Built by Childlife Magazine's William Hawkes and others, this 80-acre attraction transformed wetlands into a vibrant playground. Through nostalgic photographs, it captures the magic of experiences like boat rides to Pirate Cove and thrilling attractions like the Slanty Shanty. Pleasure Island offered a captivating environment where both children and adults enjoyed immersive performances, creating a theatrical amusement experience unlike any other.
