The following book is a history of Dominica. Today, it is officially known as the Commonwealth of Dominica, an island country in the Caribbean. Dominica has been nicknamed the "Nature Island of the Caribbean" for its natural environment. It is the youngest island in the Lesser Antilles, and in fact it is still being formed by geothermal-volcanic activity, as evidenced by the worlds second-largest hot spring, called Boiling Lake. The island has lush mountainous rainforests, and it is the home of many rare plants, animals, and bird species.

"The Spring of the Year" by Dallas Lore Sharp is a book of outdoor facts. Naturally many of the birds and animals and flowers mentioned, as well as woods and aspects of sky and field, are those of the authors own local environment, the New England surrounding. So they must differ in some details from those surrounding you in your far Southern home or you on your distant Pacific coast. But the similarities and correspondences, the things and conditions people have in common, are more than the differences. In this book of the season, the things treated differ from the things around you, read about those things for information, and in your journeys afield fill in the gaps with whatever it is that completes your landscape, or rounds out your cycle of the seasons, or links up to your endless chain of life.
