Delightful collection of short stories based on the Canary Islands, some from the author's own memory and others based on historical events and stories. I found this book, like John Reid Young's original book of short stories, The Skipping Verger, absolutely delightful. I am keeping the other book, because the author kindly signed it for me, but passing this one to a bookcrosser currently visiting my Canary Island home. Hope you enjoy, Janet!
