It's not a hometown, actually, it's a home island. It's the same size and shape as Manhattan, Arthur tells people at parties all his life, except with a thousand people. Delano Island is between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia, a straight shot north from Los Angeles. The island is all temperate rain forest and rocky beaches, deer breaking into vegetable gardens and leaping in front of windshields, moss on low-hanging branches, the sighing of wind in cedar trees.
Arthur describes Delano Island, not as a hometown, but as a home island, drawing a comparison to Manhattan in size and shape but with a much smaller population of only a thousand residents. This picturesque island is located between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia, easily accessible from Los Angeles. Its natural beauty is characterized by temperate rain forests and rocky beaches, creating a serene atmosphere.
The island's charm also includes its wildlife, with deer often wandering into gardens and crossing paths unexpectedly. The landscape is enriched by the presence of moss-covered branches and the gentle sound of wind through cedar trees, evoking a sense of tranquility and connection to nature that defines life on Delano Island.
