Pieces of Paradise

Pieces of Paradise
Helweg-Larsen, Kjeld
London ; New York : Jarrolds, 1967
184 p. ; ill. (col. front), maps ; 24 cm

The cover photograph evokes one familiar image of the exotic, the edenic, long associated with representations of the Caribbean in the British book trade. This cover also invites the tourist, at a time when the British tourist industry was growing. Such images of the "paradise" of the Caribbean or the "tropics" in general appear in Victorian literature and travel writing, a period that marks the beginning of tourism as an industry. The photographs of visiting British royalty on the back cover mark this association even more strongly.
