Willoughbyland

England's Lost Colony

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

At the beginning of the 1650s, England was in ruins â wrecked, impoverished, grief-stricken by plague and civil war. What started out as a heaven was soon to become one of the cruellest places on earth. The history of Willoughbyland is a microcosm of empire, its heady attractions and fatal dangers.
