The timeless island which, since Rockefeller fell in love with it in 1957, has kept its authenticity. Two charming French/English books
About the books
When you live in St. Barts, the famous little sophisticated island in the Caribbean, you understand why people fall in love with it. It is simply because, even though it is well known by the jet set, it’s authentic timeless side has made it “magic”…
I have chosen to show the St. Barts of the 1960’s, in this way, keeping the surprise for the visitors who visit the island today, not too different from the illustrations.
Each book is a day’s stroll through St. Barts. In one of them we discover the beaches of both the windward and the leeward sides, and in the other, we visit the little traditional houses or “cases”, which have their own style depending on the “neighborhoods”.
These illustrated, bilingual books, transport us through unique, charming spots on the island. The little “cases”, the deserted beaches, the coconut palms, the bougainvilliers, the sugar birds, the pelicans….
Why Kickstarter?
A first local production was very successful and several visitors (especially Americans) suggested that I promote these little books internationally.
St.Barts since the sixties
But even with all these huge changes and its proximity to the effervescent world, St. Barts remained faithful to its traditions and knew how to protect itself from the galoping evolution.

About the shipping
The author
An ex teacher, I am an artist and have been earning my living with my painting for the last 30 years.
When approaching the age of sixty, I wanted to enjoy my passion for writing and illustrating books.
Since 2012, 9 books have been published, children’s books.
The book has already been printed and published. It will be printed in the same quality concerning the colors, the quality and the weight of the paper.
Only the contributions are new, but the quality will be the same there too. I am the illustrator, the graphic and layout artist but also the editor.
It is possible that there may be delays due to the printers, but the delivery period that I have announced should cover this and avoid any inconvenience.
