This book celebrates the work of great uncle and niece, of artist and poet. Together they portray the life of their Island home through words and pictures. Most poems are redolent of bygone days, with a whole section devoted to the Occupation and subsequent Liberation. The poems evoke the changing seasons and the joys and sadness of everyday life. Both author and artist shared a love of the horse and we meet many plodding through the pages, enjoying the slower pace of country life.
