Bermuda. Today and Yesterday, 1503-1980s

London/Bermuda: Robert Hale/Baxter's Ltd, 1983. Hardback. Slight foxing to front inside cover. Here is the history of a once-isolated group of islands - bermuda - told with the continuity and excitement of an adventure story. For the armchair traveller, it is an engrossingly romantic narrative; for the student and historian, it includes the solid facts of geology, botany, fortifications, the succession of governorships, bishops, consulates; while for the tourist, it is an essential background to the beauty he sees around him, giving it meaning and authenticity. The narrative flowes from the early 16th century, when Bermuda was detested and shunned, to today, when she is almost 'loved too much'. The author has written on many slants and aspects of these islands she holds dear - from straight history, historical fiction, witchcraft, crime and punishment, and the separate story of each islet in the group. Illustrated. 223 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . 3rd Edion. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback.
