For a most interesting history of Dominica, check this site. Very well written history by Lennox Honychurch, the resident historian and former parlimentarian and beautifully illustrated with his own artwork and drawings. The one below is from his book The Dominica Story - A History of the Island. It is a beautiful depiction of the beauty of Dominica with its tall mountains, pristine streams, rocky terrain, lush flora and fauna of all varieties, including their national Sisserou parrot, one of the few remaining 'primitive' Amazona parrots. Being in this environment brings out the creative side of so many Dominicans.
