Llewellyn Xavier: His Life and Work documents the career of St. Lucia's premier artist known worldwide for his extraordinary watercolours and oil paintings as well as for creating the concept of mail art now used globally by contemporary artists. The book is a comprehensive look at Xavier's work from the 1960s to the present, including the masterpiece series Global Council for Restoration of the Earth's Environment, which was completed in 1993 to raise awareness about the wanton destruction of the natural world.

Narrated by Edward Lucie-Smith, the British writer, poet, photographer, art critic, and curator who has authored more than 100 books on art, Llewellyn Xavier: His Life and Work includes a foreword that places the artist in a historic and global context written by Lowery Stokes Sims, an art historian, who has served as a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and president of The Studio Museum in Harlem.
