Arthur Stories

Arthur Wint was a mischievous boy, who loved to go fishing for janga (crayfish) with his brothers and friends.


Once, he skipped school to pick and roast cashew nuts. One of the nuts popped out of the fire and burned his arm, giving him a scar which he bore for the rest of his life. The hard part was explaining to his mother what had happened.


Because his father was a Presbyterian minister, the family moved to different places around Jamaica. Wherever they moved, Arthur’s mother started a primary school, or improved the school that already existed. For Wint, it was sometimes hard to be the son of the schoolteacher.


Arthur went to boarding school at Calabar when he was 10 years old. By the age of 13 he was already much taller than most of the oldest boys in the school. However, in those days the school’s uniform code would not allow him to wear long trousers at school – he still had to wear short pants. He detested this.
