Detailed here for posterity are the stories of iconic Bermuda characters that John Cox knew and loved from growing up in Bermuda.

These “mentors”, as John describes them, share with us a world that has become altogether alien in our fast-moving, technological era.  While sometimes sad, at others, engagingly funny, the tales captured here are always deeply poignant.

John Cox says this is his last book on life in old Bermuda. Perhaps it is his best. Certainly it is the one that has become closest to his heart.

“How proud and spirited they were, these ‘old Bermudians’ who flourished in the middle of the sea.” – Gillian Silk
