Bag om At Last

At Last: A Christmas in the West Indies is a travelogue written by Charles Kingsley, a British novelist and clergyman, about his experiences during a trip to the Caribbean in the late 1800s.

Kingsley writes about the natural beauty of the region, its history and colonial past, and the customs and traditions of its inhabitants. He also shares his impressions of the local flora and fauna, including descriptions of tropical birds, fish, and plant life. Throughout the book, Kingsley weaves in his own personal anecdotes and musings on topics such as religion, politics, and race relations. At Last: A Christmas in the West Indies is a vivid and engaging account of a bygone era, offering readers a glimpse into a world that has since changed dramatically.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
