Poems From Rose Farm [FIRST EDITION DATED 2004 & SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR & ILLUSTRATOR]. ?Welcome to this book of poems, beautifully set off by Rob Lyttle's atmospheric water-colours. Between them they portray a world which may seem dreamlike to those whose lives are spent in town. But it is real enough, and not always idyllic. The country can be blissful but it can be blissful but it can be cruel too, it can tug at your heart, but sometimes break it...You too could live Penny's life, but only if you don't mind being on the go fifteen hours a day, seven a week, presenting a cheerful face to paying guests, finding genuine sympathy for those who bring their animals to the pet cemetery she runs with her husband John, having as sure a touch with a new-born puppy as a massive Simmental bull or an unbroken colt; if you can go to county shows and come home with hatfuls of prizes, then quietly mould beautiful heads in clay, as well as feeding, cleaning out and caring for a huge variety of creatures, many of them with two legs ? oh and still finding the time to record some of this in verse, as you will see. It's that easy. Penny has no literary pretensions. She paints what she sees, what she thinks, how she feels, in language as direct as it can be when tackling such themes, from dawn to night, from death to canaries. She takes you by the hand and leads you through the year in her eyes, with the clear light of a Cornish morning. Penny has also been my sister all my life. We are as different as this and that, but we love many of same things, from Nature to Manchester United. She is admittedly crazy, but her feet are firmly rooted in her native soil, she doesn't miss much, and she's not a bad soul. I'm proud of her. Besides she?s got Sky, so I need to keep on her right side...Open your eyes, your mind and heart and enjoy. Mike Sagar-Fenton.? Book - in Very Good card covers.
