This delightful anthology is a compilation of entertaining, witty and observant poems, written on many themes, and accompanied by illustrations and photographs from the author's albums. Intermittently over the years Jean Dickinson marked family occasions, everyday occurrences (and sometimes mishaps) and friendships by writing mildly amusing verses; and, when seeking a distraction while her husband had an extended stay in hospital, she adopted her daughter's suggestion that she should look out these poems and assemble them into a collection. This engaging slim volume is the result and you are invited to while away some leisure time with 'an octogenarian's memories'.
