Review:

'One could simply enjoy the collection as well-written Restoration diversions rather than as significant tracts.'
Wendy Rowland, Literary Review

'Behn knew the West Indies and describes it as a sumptuous natural paradise. it is a gripping story of honour and dishonour, One could simply enjoy the collection as well-written Restoration diversions rather than a significant tract.'
Literary Review. Aug '94
