About the Book
Most of the anecdotes presented here are centered around actual events that took place in the island of Jamaica, West Indies. Hence, the humor may be more apparent to fellow Jamaicans. However, the book is full of laughs for just about everyone.
About the Author
Ashton Lascelles Walters comes from a long line of writers. His father Edwin Walters prided himself in submitting a “Letter to the Editor” every Sunday religiously in The Sunday Gleaner, the “national” newspaper in Jamaica, W.I. Lascelles was also a featured letter writer of The Gleaner. His daughter Beverley vividly remembers him submitting even letters that she had written to The Gleaner. Lascelles migrated from Jamaica, W.I. in 2005 and currently lives in the Bronx where he spends his time writing his anecdotes and his autobiography, which he hopes to release shortly.
