Desultory Sketches and Tales of Barbados is a collection of short stories and sketches written by Theodore Easel and published in 1840. The book is set in the Caribbean island of Barbados and offers a glimpse into the lives of the island's inhabitants during the early 19th century. The stories cover a range of topics, including love, betrayal, slavery, and the struggle for independence. The characters are diverse, from wealthy plantation owners to enslaved Africans, and each story offers a unique perspective on life in Barbados at the time. Easel's writing style is descriptive and vivid, painting a picture of the island's landscapes and people. The book provides a valuable historical account of Barbados and its people, as well as an entertaining read for those interested in Caribbean literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
