Will Power

He is universally regarded as the world’s most influential writer, whose works transcend cultures and time. Yet, in his homeland, one person in five has never seen or read a play by William Shakespeare.
The author of this book believes the reason that so many fail to make the acquaintance of the Bard lies in the classroom. He feels the introduction to Shakespeare is made in the wrong way and to pupils of the wrong age.
This book attempts to show that simple rhymes, evoking the powerful moral themes of Shakespearean drama, can engage the interest of young children more effectively than confronting teenagers with an incomprehensible text.

Open this book at any page and enjoy!

With relatable characters and a story that reflects the chaos of everyday problems, this is an entertaining read for children and adults alike.

Now We Are Very Old

If poetry be the food of love, read on’ as some particularly famous playwright bloke once said or maybe he didn’t. It might have been that he said, ‘if music be the food of love, play on’. Frankly, be that as it may, this composer of little rhyming ditties thinks poems are rather fun and many of them are, in any case, about things he loves. Thus, it works either way.

This little volume of twenty-four poetic offerings on various themes (plus one totally free extra ditty in the introduction, please note) rather proves the point even if the author most un-humbly does say it himself.

Read out loud with rhythm in your voice. Set them to music of your own choosing and sing them if you like. However you prefer to take your poems, please enjoy them for what they are: a bit of simple fun.

Parrot Antics

These Parrot Antics are funny, playful, and bursting with color.

Sir Reginald Raucous Van Reek seizes every opportunity to perform for the gallery, reveling in the spotlight. In his world, pride, prejudice, and presumption help him plunder his way through life, while hard knocks roll off him like water off a duck’s back.

Despite his mischievous deeds, he steals our hearts with his playful antics, brought to life through the rhythm of rhyming fun.

But does this self-proclaimed sage ever learn anything from his roguish rascality?
