The Basil Letters: A Bermudian Memoir

By Lady Gillian Rosemary Waddington

LOVEABLE SCAMP OR FURRY MENACE?

The Basil Letters is part memoir, part political diary and part tribute to a much-loved family pet. Bermuda is most often mentioned in relation to triangles, shorts and pink beaches. However, there is more to it than that. The Basil Letters gives an insight into the day to day running of this small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. From his basket in Government House, Basil lifts the lid on the comings and goings of Bermuda's 'Great and Good' and even some royals. For a small dog, Basil was blessed with a big personality. In pre-social media days, he catapulted himself into the spotlight just by being Basil. Once in the glare he divided opinion among the Bermudian public. Was he a loveable scamp or a furry menace? Now you can decide for yourself.
