Early Bermuda Eccentrics takes the reader on a whimsical journey through the “lower parishes”, along the old by-lanes, all the way to Somerset Bridge. From Miss Louvilla Outerbridge from Bailey’s Bay, who sported her fancy hats stacked one atop another, to Fanny Williams of Devonshire who enjoyed afternoon siestas in a coffin, and saltraker Frith of Paget who hid his annual takings in one of his huge chimneys, to Miss Tucker of Somerset who implored the trees to bow to her in the wind, John Cox brings these and the many other colourful personalities, featured in this delightful book, straight off the pages and into our living rooms.
John has written extensively on life in old Bermuda. Early Bermuda Eccentrics has already become a personal favourite.
