Rather than a comprehensive political or historical study of the region, \u003ci\u003eThe Traveller's Tree\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003eA Time of Gifts\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBetween the Woods and the Water\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Traveller's Tree: A Journey Through the Caribbean Islands | Patrick Leigh Fermor | Paperback | 9781590173800 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks B 1756984","offer_id":49149159735448,"sku":"1756984","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91LkZ1YLO9L_a7e617af-5fd9-47b2-8d5f-1e87f2e40262.jpg?v=1779524713","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/travellers-tree-a-journey-through-the-caribbean-islands-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
