Foxy and Jost is a delightful tale about a very Colorful Caribbean Character and his unique island paradise. Foxy is an entertainer, entrepreneur, philosopher, community activist, world traveler, conservationist, musician, story-teller, cultural historian, fisherman, comedian, sailor-- a true West Indian Renaissance Man of the 1990s.
Foxy is proud of where he was born, who he is, how his family lives, and his sun-splashed cultural perspective. He is a man who is confident of the future because he treasures the past-- a traditionalist who is completely open to change if it is for the better.
Jost Van Dyke is currently at a pivotal point in its rich history. Massive off-island 'development' could be just around the corner; the barges filled with profit-seeking cement trucks, bulldozers, and chainsaws may be lurking offshore at this very moment...
Can Foxy and Jost escape being crushed by the great god of 'progress'..? Can the 'World's Happiest Man' stay happy? Will Jost remain a lush tropical Eden, or become yet another paved-over concrete subdivision of St. Thomas and Tortola?
"Only an island like Jost could have nurtured such a wild, warm, wonderful wacky character as Foxy. Both the island and the man are a delight-- and so is this new book." Fritz Seyfarth, TALES OF THE CARIBBEAN.
"Foxy and Jost are the ultimate island destination-- proof that our tropical dreams can still be reality. Foxy and his wife Tessa are the symbol of a warm, hospitable island culture. They are also the foundation of an island economy, with that rare ability to bring commerce to their people, while serving their passion to preserve their home. They are an indelible memory in the minds of tens of thousands of visitors. Foxy and Tessa, we salute you."
Ron Sherwood, VIMInews.
"Peter Farrell captures Foxy and Jost in a uniquely tropical, laid-back, in-the-hammock, limin-under-the palm-tree island way. Good job!"
Cap'n Fatty Goodlander, Radio One's MARINE REPORT.
