«La colonia perduta» is a historical chronicle by Giles Milton, published by Rizzoli (414 pages, in Italian).
In the 16th century, Europeans barely knew North America; it was said that there were red sheep, giant birds and headless creatures. Milton recounts the tragic epic of the first English attempts to colonise that territory, amid adventures, conquests and mysteries in the age of Elizabeth I.
The Italian edition was published in 2000. The original title of the work is «Big Chief Elizabeth: The Adventures and Fate of the First English Colonists in America».
The book is aimed at readers interested in the history of exploration, colonial America and Elizabethan England.
