Description: Scattered like emeralds off the Cornish coast, the Isles of Scilly have long captivated travelers, historians, and naturalists alike. This richly detailed portrait traces the archipelago from its granite origins and Ice Age landscapes through Bronze Age settlements, monastic outposts, and the perilous shipping lanes that shaped its fortunes. With chapters on the subtropical gardens nurtured by the Gulf Stream, the distinct personalities of the five inhabited islands, and the remarkable wildlife of this Atlantic frontier, it offers an evocative journey to one of Britain's most enchanting corners.
