In the late 1940s Patrick Leigh Fermor, now widely regarded as one
of the twentieth century's greatest travel writers, set out to
explore the then relatively little-visited islands of the
Caribbean. Rather than a comprehensive political or historical
study of the region, "The Traveller's Tree," Leigh Fermor's first
book, gives us his own vivid, idiosyncratic impressions of
Guadeloupe, Martinique, Dominica, Barbados, Trinidad, and Haiti,
among other islands. Here we watch Leigh Fermor walk the dusty
roads of the countryside and the broad avenues of former colonial
capitals, equally at home among the peasant and the elite, the
laborer and the artist. He listens to steel drum bands, delights in
the Congo dancing that closes out Havana's Carnival, and observes
vodou and Rastafarian rites, all with the generous curiosity and
easy erudition that readers will recognize from his subsequent
classic accounts "A Time of Gifts" and "Between the Woods and the
Water."
