520 _a"Gardens of the Caribbees, v. 1/2" by Ida May Hill Starr is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This work recounts the author's journey through the West Indies and the Spanish Main, exploring the human side of the Caribbean experience rather than serving as a traditional guidebook. The narrative is rich with observations about culture, society, and the natural beauty of the islands visited. The beginning of "Gardens of the Caribbees" introduces us to the author's cruise, reflecting on both her trepidation and excitement about sailing from a cold, bleak New York to the warm, inviting Caribbean. The protagonist, sharing her journey with her family, describes their shipboard experiences, including seasickness and the camaraderie fostered among fellow travelers. As the voyage unfolds, she captures the contrasts between their winter departure and the anticipated vibrancy of the islands. The narrative sets the stage for an exploration of various ports such as Haiti and Puerto Rico, emphasizing the local cultures and the enchanting landscapes they encounter.
