This review is from: St. Kitts: Cradle of the Caribbean (Paperback)
Buy this book if you're interested in learning about St. Kitts, but not if you're looking for recommendations for hotels/restaurants. It's well written, easy reading and informative.

This review is from: St. Kitts: Cradle of the Caribbean (Paperback)
I ordered this book since my daughter is going to vet school on St. Kitts. It had a lot of useful information on the island, the history, the economy, and the culture. It is now in St. Kitts for reference!
