 | One of my all time favourite books is Caribbean by James A Mitchener. It's a large fictional book based on fact, giving an account of the settlement of the Caribbean Islands from the the days of the Caribs and Arawaks, through the pirate era, European settlement, the slave trade, up to the time and after we lived in Barbados. It was quite absorbing in many ways to Maureen & me having visited most of the islands while we lived there. |
