James Pope-Hennessy
West Indian Summer
London: Batsford, 1943.
First printing, with jacket art by Cecil Beaton.
Enjoying a now vanished world of sleepy colonial rule, the author sketches a summer spent in the Caribbean, just before the outbreak of the Second World War.
He recreates the history of islands like Jamaica and Trinidad through the diaries and historical accounts of famous travelers from past centuries, as well as adding some caustic comments of his own.
