520			_a"This exotic interior-design book of the rich Caribbean history and style is for anyone who has ever dreamed of escaping to a different way of life. It is the first guide to the magnificent homes, elegant lifestyle, and varied architecture of the French, Dutch, Spanish, English, and Danish islands of the Caribbean." "Author Michael Connors, a West Indian decorative arts scholar, examines those venerable houses that remain as testimony to the rich history and grand lifestyle that was and continues to be an important part of Caribbean culture. With the disappearance of so much of the Caribbean's historic domestic architecture, the colonial residences that still exist take on a far more important role in the historical record of the Caribbean's material culture."--Jacket.
