Island blessed with works of wonder

MANY readers of this column will have holidayed in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and will know this extraordinary island much better than I.

They will know that a car may be rented for as little as e10 a day, and that to explore its many fascinating worlds the first essential is a car.

They may, however, not have come across a small book, Lanzarote, Blind Crabs, Hoopoes and Volcanoes by Dr Horst Wilkens.
