About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The West Indies and the Spanish Main by Anthony Trollope. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. In The West Indies and the Spanish Main, Anthony Trollope recounts his experiences traveling around the area of what is now known as the Caribbean and Central America. Some of the places he describes are Jamaica, Cuba, the Windward Islands (modern-day Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines), British Guiana (modern-day Guyana), Trinidad, St. Thomas (now one of the U.S. Virgin Islands), and New Grenada (modern-day Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela). Please note that the text includes the use of racial slurs that modern readers may find offensive. - Summary by Elsie Selwyn
