The Cayman Islands - a truly magical place and Jenny Palmer has provided a memento to treasure of a much-loved part of the Caribbean Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman - the three pristine coral land masses which comprise the Cayman Islands - total just 100 square miles. Yet this fascinating British Crown Colony, 480 miles south of Miami, is a leading offshore financial centre as well as a major tourist destination. Home of the famous green turtle (the national symbol), the Cayman Islands are perhaps best known for diving and underwater attractions. The waters around the islands are exceptionally clear making this one of the world's great dive sites. But, of course, there is so much more to see and to discover. In this island portrait, containing over 140 specially commissioned colour photographs, Jenny Palmer takes us on an in-depth tour of all three islands, highlighting not only the major tourist and underwater delights but also revealing their cultural, historical and artistic heritage. Above all, she provides an intimate portrait of the islanders themselves - close up - leading their everyday lives.

Having just returned from a wonderful holiday in Cayman, I kicked myself as I stepped off the plane and realised I had forgotton to buy a copy of 'The Cayman Islands' by Jenny Palmer - a book I had seen for sale all over the island. After a quick search I was delighted to find it available in the UK via Amazon.
It is no wonder the local businesses stock this book as their book of choice. It really shows off their island fully and you can feel the character of the people shine through in every page. The photographers pictures are wonderful (especially the turtle pictures) and being a small island you recognise lots of the places featured in this book - in fact, why pack a camera? just buy the book!

Absolutely loved this book: every image screams at you to come and visit the Caymans - not just of the sights but also the people and the vibrancy of life and colour that the author has managed to capture here is reflected also in her text which, whilst explaining and celebrating all that is Cayman, is incredibly useful and current for anyone looking to visit the Islands. Where to stay and where to eat and buy your bikini and snorkel is virtually de rigeur in a Jenny Palmer travel book - as I discovered when I picked up her "Saint Lucia" edition recently. I mean, what else could anybody want? The historical is covered but most importantly the photographs speak for themselves. Plunge in and enjoy!
