''Where The Tradewind Blows: West Indian Tales'' is a collection of short stories written by Mrs. Schuyler Crowninshield and first published in 1898. The stories are set in the Caribbean and explore the lives of the locals and the colonial settlers who inhabit the islands. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the experiences of the West Indian people, while the second part delves into the lives of the American and European expatriates who have made the islands their home. The stories are vividly descriptive and offer a glimpse into the cultural and social dynamics of the region during the late 19th century. The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Caribbean, as well as those who enjoy well-crafted short stories with a strong sense of place and character.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
