Legendary Islands of the Atlantic

The islands that appeared on medieval charts and were sailed for in earnest - Antillia, Saint Brendan''s Isle, Brasil, the Isle of Seven Cities - and what may have been behind each. Babcock treats them as a geographer, not a romancer. This edition adds a gallery of 58 plates after Turner, Aivazovsky and Church, and 26 restored and coloured in-text illustrations.
