Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago: Carnival Institute and Regional Carnival (CIRC) of Trinidad and Tobago shared a feature on two books of renowned author John EH Barry. It shared some brief about the books and noted that both the books provide educational as well as entertainment-related information.

The information about both books was shared by the CIRC on “Thursday Reads” through the official social media account.

It mentioned, “On this #ThursdayReads, we bring to you two books by author John E. H. Barry titled, “The Finalists Book: A Graphical Lookback at Trinidad & Tobago’s Calypso and Soca Monarch Finals”, Book 1 and Book 2. Both books deal primarily with the topic of Calypso and Soca Monarch Competitions held in Trinidad and Tobago, with Part 2 continuing where Book 1 leaves off.”

While briefing the general public about books and the vision of the writer while writing them, it asserted that the books are both entertaining and educational. “The variety of research and analytical views offered in these books are a crucial part of the information contained.
