Charles Hyatt remembers his boyhood in vivid detail, and is his own inimitable voice talked about it in his radio programme \u003ci\u003eWhen Me Was a Boy\u003c\/i\u003e. In his selection from those pieces, Hyatt brings his school days to life: the tramcar and horse-and-buggy days when cars were few and far between and taking a walk was a social occasion. These are hilarious moments―look out for the Black Heart Man―and historic ones, and Hyatt's sharp observation and remarkable memory put us right on the spot sharing his feelings and experiences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\" This tidy little book...offers an insight into social life in Jamaica over fifty years ago. It is written in Jamaican creole, Hyatt style. It is a boy's vision recaptured several years later and written with good humour. It can only be a fragment of Jamaican social history since it addresses the experience of one man, his family and associates. It would be a major service to social historians if more Jamaicans do what Charles Hyatt has done.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - \u003ci\u003ePatrick Bryan, University of the West Indies, Jamaica\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 158\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 7.98 x 4.99 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185569448185,"sku":"9789766402020","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/NFp2bGZMc25FN1NQM2RkN0xUNVFRQT09.webp?v=1767816076","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/when-me-was-a-boy-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
