At Last a Christmas in the West Indies reviewed
A brief critique of Chantel Kingsley’s two volume travel narrative On the West Indies. The reviewer praises Kingsley’s broad sympathy and knowledge of geography history and natural history while noting some biases toward English gentlemen and Baptists with minor censure of a few generalizations. The work is described as deeply interesting with strong botanical and atmospheric descriptions and readable illustrations.
