Obscure Victorian travel narrative set in the West Indies, mainly the island of Trinidad, by the eminent Charles Kingsley. A bit repetitive and long winded at times and full of standard 19th century racism. Still, it's an illuminating depiction of how the British viewed the people and lands of the Indies and some of the descriptions are quite vivid and entertaining.
