The Return of Anne Boleyn?

With the recent violent eruptions of Mount Etna in Sicily, one is reminded of a local legend.

According to the late 18th century traveller Patrick Brydone, those loving around the area believed that the soul of Anne Boleyn - because of her wickedness - was 'condemned to burn forever' in the volcano.
