Book Description

3 and up
Ptolemy Turtle lived on the edge of the White River under a heavenly allspice tree. All round were the sweet colours of Jamaica.

Young Ptolemy gets hit on the head by a falling breadfruit and discovers why he loves watermelon. Dazed by the blow he sees visions of angels, and learns the importance of politeness and the ability to reason.

Ptolemy Turtle is an imaginative coming of age story set in the rich and vibrant culture of Jamaica.
