Macmillan Saint Lucia: Helen of the West Indies (Macmillan Caribbean Guides)

Saint Lucia is also famous for producing two Nobel Laureates and for staging an annual Jazz Festival that has become the talk of the entire world. In addition, Saint Lucia is a tourist paradise hosting more than 700,000 visitors every year. In this comprehensive guide, updated with all new photographs, Guy Ellis provides a profile of this "Helen of the West." A journalist for more than four decades, he edited the island's leading newspaper, the Voice, for 20 years before moving on to start a newspaper of his own, The Saint Lucia Mirror. In 2003, Ellis was honored by Her Majesty the Queen as a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his services to journalism. As one who remains in touch with every development that takes place on the island, he is well qualified to write this guide to his mother country.
