Publisher Description
'Manpot's Tales of the Tropics' drifts on the Caribbean tradewinds through the white sand beaches and ramshackle bars where we meet a gang of colourful characters that seem to thrive in those 'little latittudes'. From Hollywood superstars Michael Jackson and Marlon Brando to local legends Big Red the Gangster, Johnnie One Nut, Bomba and Quito Rymer we are carried away by stories too strange and too funny, to be fiction. You just can't make this stuff up.

Fun Island Read
We discovered the existence of this book by chance. We stopped by Cruzan's for dinner in Apple Bay, Tortola and Mr. Boyes and his wife by chance dined adjacent to our table. We were sitting outside and the owners cat immediately recognized their voices and arrived for his usual table treats. Mr. Boyes then explained why everyone referred to him as "Manpot". He is such a character in person, that we decided to pick up his book while on island. We grew up adjacent to Mexico and the parallels to the old Mexico and way of life before drugs is remarkable. It is a wonderful book. Hook em!
