Save The Children - Malvern C/D 31 December

[Tuvok]

Answers are islands in Europe and the Mediterranean.

9. It sounds rather colourless (5)
17. This has a place in charm and romance (3) - could this be Man - as in Isle of Man. I'm doubtful as it is not referred to as Man!
25. This is at the heart of historical dynasties (5) - have seen this suggested as Caldy - but its actually Caldey

Help.

9. (isle of) White ?

[TheWinner]

sorry typo..... isle of Wight

[Tuvok]

If thats right for 9 then I'm right for 17. Would not have got that as all the others are names in their own right - these answers are shortening names.

re. 25 I'd go for Caldey. It might just be an error.
