Nathaniel's Nutmeg - first UK edition

by Giles Milton

Factual account of world of exploration during the 17th century, involving the struggle to control the spice trade between the Dutch and the English and the island of Rum, where most of the nutmeg was grown and produced for export. The Dutch wanted the island so badly that they eventually traded the English for the island of Manhattan for it.
