When he was a youngster, one of Herbert Gayle's teachers told him the way out of the poverty in which he and his family lived was through reading. Gayle, who was already a precocious chap, listened to his teacher and became hooked on books.
Gayle's addiction was so severe that he would go way into the morasses of Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland, to find peace and solitude to read. Also, he would take his father's fishing boat way out to sea, anchor it to a reef, and immerse himself in his books in the broiling sun. There were times when night caught him at sea because he fell asleep in the boat.
