Description
The Traveller's Tree: A Journey Through the Caribbean Islands
Patrick Leigh Fermor recounts his personal odyssey to the islands of the West Indies, tracing the route of the tall, straight-trunked tree whose sheath-like leaves collect copious amounts of water. He travelled by steamer, aeroplane and sailing ship, recording the minute details of daily life, natural surroundings and the distinct civilisations he encountered.
From the ghostly remnants of ancient cultures to the eccentricities of modern island communities, Fermor's vivid world is rich with life and full of surprises. This first book from a renowned travel writer offers a unique glimpse into the Caribbean Islands and their people.
