Boyhood Days (Part 1)

By Marcellus Joseph

Designed to bring out a feeling of nostalgia to everyone who reads it, this book, Boyhood Days, is a very exciting and detailed account of our experiences, activities and adventures, while growing up in the Caribbean, Saint Lucia in particular, during the period 1960's to the early 1980's. This was a point in time when Saint Lucia was like our own "Garden of Eden", which was a very beautiful, natural and Nature Isle, filled with fruit trees, rivers and streams and where everybody was each other's neighbor. An anecdotal piece, this book, which is divided into three parts, documents, in an indirect way, our lives and times during the period indicated above. And although all of the stories included in this publication are real and serious in nature, they are designed to bring about some really good laughter for the reader. Inside, you will get a clear indication of the things we did and how we did it back then, which was the period prior to the development of technology and its subsequent advancement. Then, as people of humble beginnings, we were forced to be creative, in order to make ends meet and to cater to our enjoyment and lifestyle. It was also a period of extreme laughter and excitement for us all and also a period of strict disciplining for us the children. Please believe me when I say that everything written in this book is entirely true and it is written in a way to grab your attention and keep you wanting more. In this book you will read about a group of young boys being chased by a machete (cutlass) wielding grounds keeper, how a young lady fought with and defeated all the young men of the area, the traditional events and activities of our country, the games we played and relationships we forged, our culture and heritage and our lives in general. In my view, it was really a wonderful time to have grown up and this is the period that we refer to as "The Good Old Days". Reason being, there was no shortage of things to do or things happening, in our neck of the woods, back then. Those were the days, the Boyhood Days. Please look out for the subsequent releases of Part 2 and Part 3, both of which are of a similar nature and content as Part 1
