This small pocket-sized book contains a delightful mix of verses on an unusually wide range of topics. The reader might be in the mood for amusement and will enjoy the spoof tale of a phantom poet roaming London town and find that the next poem is about Winter Stew with a modern Vegan twist. By contrast there are peaceful and beautiful lines about Winter Dusk and the loss of a love affair.

It is a book which readers from 8 to 98 can dip into and find something to chime with or lighten their mood.

Every poem provides excellent material for reading aloud or singing – some well-known tunes are suggested.
