This is the guide I wish someone had pressed into my hands the first time I set foot on Grenada. It is the magic of this island as I came to know it, and the reason I fell so deeply in love with it.
It is not a comprehensive or scientific record, but a gathering of the birds, animals, reef life, spices, fruit and flowers you are most likely to meet here, each drawn as its own illustrated plate. The best advice I can give you about Grenada is to take your time. The fastest way to get there is slowly. You will see more.
