Ian Fleming spent part of every year at Goldeneye, his Jamaican house in which he wrote all the James Bond books. He loved Jamaica and used to regret that there was no book on it which he considered worthy. His friend Morris Cargill, the distinguished Jamaican journalist and broadcaster, urged him to write one himself. After many conversations at Goldeneye a 'team' was collected: Ian Flaming to open the book, of course, with an account of his own relationship with Jamaica and a general picture of the pleasures of living there; Morris Cargill and the novelist John Hearne to fill in the background, historical and human; and ten other writers, either Jamaican or long-term residents of the island, chosen because of their special knowledge of and enthusiasm for various aspects of it.
