Brian Dyde spent twenty years as a hydrographic surveyor in the Royal Navy before becoming a writer. His association with St Kitts began in 1973 while carrying out work for the production of the new charts of the Leeward Islands. This is his third book in the Island Guide series, and is illustrated with his own maps and many of his own photographs. He lived in Montserrat until forced to leave by volcanic activity and now lives in Wales.
