The Canary Islands: A Cultural History by Peter Stone
The seven volcanic Canary Islands that bask in the Atlantic off shore from the north-west African coast have long had legendary connotations. To the Greeks they were the Gardens of the Hesperides, blessed with a perennial spring, while the Carthaginians christened them the 'Purple Isles' for the rich dye they obtained there. Peter Stone explores the fascinating history and culture of this archipelago, where nature and geology provide a spectacular setting for today's tourism industry.
