Mingo's Cave by Chuck Ball
An escape for the adventurous |
Comments by Ani Brooks, 10/14/2010
For anyone who as had the pleasure of falling in love with the island of St. John, Mingo's Cave is a must read. The author's intimacy with the people of St. John is apparent in his respect for their colloquialism & depiction of daily life in paradise. On every page, the reader is gently transported to a place & time that makes it seem possible to feel the tropical breezes of this magical island. I wish I could book my ticket now to go search for pirate's treasure in the Carribean! Kuddos to the author on an exceptional first publication. More please!
