Guernsey is a 65 km² Bailiwick where Victor Hugo wrote Les Misérables during his 15-year exile. The Bailiwick also includes Alderney, Sark, Herm, and other tiny islands — each with its own quirks, from Sark's car-free lanes to Herm's beaches.

No. Guernsey is a British Crown Dependency, not part of the United Kingdom and never part of the European Union. The British monarch is its head of state, but Guernsey makes its own laws.
Victor Hugo lived in exile in Guernsey from 1855 to 1870 after being expelled from Jersey for criticizing Napoleon III. He wrote Les Misérables (1862) and other works at his home, Hauteville House, in Saint Peter Port.
The Bailiwick consists of Guernsey itself plus Alderney, Sark, Herm, Jethou, Brecqhou, and several smaller islets. Each main island has its own customs, and Alderney and Sark have their own legislatures.
