The Piazza Tales Chapter 5 - The Encantadas - Sketch Third. Rock Rodondo

In which the reader is invited to contemplate the curious inhabitants of a remote and desolate rock, Rodondo, amongst an assemblage of wild birds and strange fish that throng its rugged surfaces and surrounding waters, their lives a testament to Nature’s strange handiwork. From this lofty perch, gazing far across the ocean’s expanse towards distant isles and continents, the narrative gently unfolds the mystery and solitude of these isolated lands, whilst recalling the adventurous voyages that led to their encounter.
