HTML file produced by David Widger  a"Tropic Days" by E. J. Banfield is a collection of evocative sketches and reflections written in the early 20th century, likely during the late 1910s. Set on an island off the coast of North Queensland, the book offers insights into the natural beauty and the simplicity of life in a tropical paradise, capturing the essence of both the landscape and its inhabitants.  The opening of "Tropic Days" introduces readers to the serene and idyllic setting of the author's island, where the rhythms of nature dictate life. Banfield expresses a sense of contentment and connection to the environment, relishing in moments of solitude and reflection among the tropical flora and fauna. He artfully describes the sensations of gentle breezes, the vibrant colors of the blossoms, and the joyful sounds of birds, creating an immersive experience for the reader. The author’s reverence for nature is palpable, as he observes the interplay of light and shadow, the emergence of new growth, and the simple pleasures found in a sun-drenched landscape, all while pondering the deeper relationships between humans and their environment.
