A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

On his second voyage to the New World, Columbus sailed past an island that some say he compared to St Christopher carrying the Christ Child on his back. Ever since, the island of St Christopher, (now commonly known as St Kitts), has been highly prized. Indeed, the first mention of the all-important crop, sugar, being grown in the Caribbean, was in St Kitts in 1643 and it is the sugar business that has dominated the history of this, the first British colony in the West Indies.
