An indispensable and comprehensive guide for the visitor and one which is sure to tempt the traveller searching for the very best vacation without the milling crowds.Brian Dyde spent twenty years as a hydrographic surveyor in the Royal Navy before becoming a creator. His association with St Kitts started in 1973 even as carrying out work for the production of the new charts of the Leeward Islands. This is his third book in the Island Guide series, and is illustrated with his own maps and plenty of of his own photographs. He lived in Montserrat until forced to leave by volcanic activity and now lives in Wales.
