Description
When Me Was A Boy by Charles Hyatt is a vivid account of growing up in Kingston, Jamaica in the 1930s. Based on his own experiences and memories, this selection from his radio programme brings to life the sights, sounds and social occasions of a bygone era.
The book offers a unique insight into social life in Jamaica over fifty years ago, written in Hyatt's distinctive style and infused with good humour. While it is a personal perspective, it provides a valuable fragment of Jamaican social history, shedding light on the experiences of one man and his family and associates.
