hardcover. New York. 1965. November 1965. Harper & Brothers. Reprinted Hardcover Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket . . 403 pages. hardcover. . keywords: Travel Caribbean . FROM THE PUBLISHER - 'The traveller's tree,' says the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 'like all the human beings who now inhabit the Antilles, was originally a stranger to these regions.' Patrick Leigh Fermor was a stranger too, when, prompted by pleasure and inexhaustible curiosity, he came to the Caribbean Islands to embark on the leisurely, fascinating journey of which this book is the superb report. He went by steamer, plane and sailing ship through the long chain of islands extending from Venezuela to the tip of Florida. He explored the jungles, spoke to the natives and learned much curious lore, customs and history. Four and a half centuries ago the forebears of the people who now throng the Vest Indies began converging there. The early Caribs, the Spanish Conquistadors, the French and English filibusterers, buccaneers and planters, and the endless shiploads of African slaves contributed to a chaotic history. Economic, industrial and social burgeoning brought an incredible melange of nationalities, religions and races. Today, one finds the cosmopolitan sophistication of the European expatriate side by side with the warmth and flamboyance of a people who are addicts of the occult and practice its rites with atavistic and sometimes sinister implications. Mr. Leigh Fermor explored with gusto all the aspects of Caribbean life, from architecture to voodoo rites. Today, when the Caribbean attracts new thousands of visitors every year, this perceptive report is more than ever appealing. PATRICK LEIGH FERMOR, of English and Irish descent, was educated at King's School, Canterbury. His interest in remote places began when, at the age of 18, he walked from Rotterdam to Constantinople. Subsequently, he lived and traveled extensively in the Balkans and in the Greek Archipelago. During World War II, he served with the Irish Guards in the halo-Greek War in Albania and fought in the battles of Greece and Crete, returning to the latter three times to organize the Cretan resistance movement. He was awarded the D.S.O. and O.B.E., and was made Honorary Citizen of Herakleion for his services during the war. In addition to The Traveller's Tree, winner of the Heinemann Foundation Prize for Literature and the Kernsley Prize, Mr. Fermor's books include The Violins of Saint Jacques and Mani. inventory #13345 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.

International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. 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.
