Book Description
Every aspect of Barbadian history, geography, culture and society is covered in this book: from flying fish to Gary Sobers; from chattel houses to rum shops and from the Landship to the six native types of lizard. The sources of local legends and folklore share the page with the story of rum and the origins of the name Bimshire, while the biographies of the great and the good jostle with the humorous stories of more colorful characters.
