St Kitts, or Saint Christopher to give its full name, was first recorded in 1493 during the second voyage of Columbus to the Caribbean. As one of the Leeward Islands it has a delightful year-round climate with impressive mountains, a lush countryside, and some excellent sun-drenched beaches. The island also has an interesting history but perhaps its greatest asset is an unspoilt charm and serenity. In this indispensable and comprehensive guide the author, as well as providing plenty of practical information, introduces the reader to the many attractions of this beautiful island, where to go and what to see; and in addition provides a background of the geography, history, natural history, people and culture. Brian Dyde's association with St Kitts began in 1973 while in the Royal Navy carrying out work for the production of new charts of the Leeward Islands. This is his third book in the Island Guide series, and is illustrated by some of his own photographs. Between 1987 and 1995 he and his wife, who is an Antiguan, lived in Montserrat but were forced to leave because of the volcanic activity and they now live in Wales Book jacket.

Especially the portion about the entrepreneurial prowess of the authors mother!!!! AMAZING!!!Being first generation Kitty-Nevy I don't have the privilege of the oratory exchange between one generation and another about life on St. Kitts and Nevis in years gone by. This book provides me with that oratory exchange; ranging from food and beverage preparations to reasons for the creation of communities which I pass often on my current day's journey to aspects of our Health, Education, Economic and Political systems. Thus presenting great evidence of the tremendous strides our Federation has made over the decades. Whether from the Federation or the wider Caribbean this book will cause some to reminisce, others to be educated and for all to take pride in the wisdom of our people! Unoma Allen, M.Sc. Lecturer CFB College, St. Kitts.

A brilliant portrayal of one of the greatest Caribbean political leaders and an excellent reference for students of Caribbean history and politics. This historical masterpiece takes you on a journey of one man's rise from rural poverty to lead the labour movement and champion the cause of the working class in his country and the wider Caribbean. A gripping tale of battles against the British colonial system, an assassination attempt, and love and betrayal. The lies and fallacies that surrounded Bradshaw's leadership are challenged and debunked with great skill. By the end of the book, you will come to one conclusion: Robert L. Bradshaw was ahead of his time.

This book covers the changing preference of growing sugar rather than tobacco which had been the leading crop in the trans-Atlantic colonies. The Sugar Islands were Antigua, Barbados, St. Christopher, Dominica, and Cuba through Trinidad. Jamaica has been by far the major producer of sugar, but The Lesser Antilles had the advantage of a shorter sea trip to deliver produce and rum to the European Markets during the 18th and 19th Centuries.
