The Isle of Mona is the original name of the Isle of Anglesey, and is also the name of a fictional island off the western coast of Prydain in Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain series. The fictional island is loosely patterened after the real Isle of Mona, now called the Isle of Anglesey, the ancient Druid stronghold located off the northwest coast of Wales which was destroyed by the Roman General Suetonius Paulinus around 65 CE. The fictionalized Isle of Mona is most prominently featured in the Alexander's third novel, The Castle of Llyr.

Famous quotes containing the word isle:
“It is so rare to meet with a man outdoors who cherishes a worthy thought in his mind, which is independent of the labor of his hands. Behind every man’s busy-ness there should be a level of undisturbed serenity and industry, as within the reef encircling a coral isle there is always an expanse of still water, where the depositions are going on which will finally raise it above the surface.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
