In this, his first book, Patrick Leigh Fermor recounts his tales of
a personal odyssey to the lands of the Traveller's Tree - a tall,
straight-trunked tree whose sheath-like leaves collect copious
amounts of water. He made his way through the long island chain of
the West Indies by steamer, aeroplane and sailing ship, noting in
his records of the voyage the minute details of daily life, of the
natural surroundings and of the idiosyncratic and distinct
civilisations he encountered amongst the Caribbean Islands. From
the ghostly Ciboneys and the dying Caribs to the religious
eccentricities like the Kingston Pocomaniacs and the Poor Whites in
the Islands of the Saints, Patrick Leigh Fermor recreates a vivid
world, rich and vigorous with life.
