About the Author
Since Lesley Sutty first set foot in the Grenadines in 1969 she has been fascinated by their natural beauty, the hardy island people, and the extraordinary wealth of marine life in the surrounding waters. As a writer and traveler, her research into the area's marine and land fauna and the prehistoric and modern-day societies have made her an acknowledged authority on the natural life and history of the area.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The real scoop for the tourist visiting St. Vincent,
By Elizabeth, the Traveler (Atlanta, Georgia) (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: St Vincent and the Grenadines (Macmillan Caribbean Guides) (Paperback)
This is a good over view book that expands, but does not replace an excellent travel annual published by the St. Vincent travel bureau. The author is explicit about specific companies and people who can render service, such as diving. She also updates situations that may have changed since recorded in an older travel book. She clearly loves the islands and this comes through. Not expensive, and well worth adding. Books about St. Vincent are few enough.

A guide it isn't!,
By J. David Carroll "celtic laddie" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: St Vincent and the Grenadines (Macmillan Caribbean Guides) (Paperback)
Full of great pictures, but at best, it is only an introduction to St. Vincent and the Grenadines. If you are looking for a serious cruising guide, as I was, don't get this. It is a very good introduction though.
