Nonsense Animal Verses (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This collection of thirty pieces of doggerel, as it was once known as, is basically a folio of artless verse with a humorous spin. The poems are accompanied by illustrations which are designed to mostly spirit you away from the harsh realities of everyday human life.

The author has written quite a bit of poetry over the years which is a writing form not to everyone's taste. However, in this clutch of verses, the slant is towards simple, hopefully funny rhyme which might be a dying art. After all, how many times can we stand seeing the words 'heart' and 'part' thrown together in a verse with even worse words?

The hope is that anyone reading the book will be cheered up as we dip into the twilight world of forests at night, dusty Saharan plains and lakes and ponds and fantasy creatures, well a couple anyway! But animals are a fascinating subject and so I lovingly dedicate this little book of verse to them.

Autorenporträt

HERBERT HOWARD JONES grew up in Notting Hill, London in the sixties. He went to a boarding school in Norfolk and then local schools including Sloane School where crime writer John Creasy attended near the King's Road. When he left school he got numerous jobs, including as a porter at the BBC London, working as a jewellery assembler in a factory in Hatton Garden and also in a number of roles at a showbiz solicitor's office where he was a trainee legal executive and ran errands for a few of the British movie and music names of the time.

He is a creative spirit who also likes dabbling in music and art himself. When he was in the jewellery business he personally made over ten thousand 14 carat gold gate bracelets which was a great learning experience for him. However, he was more interested in media and always wanted to write suspense books with a melodramatic element and so spent years reading them and working on various projects. He is also interested in romantic and fantasy fiction. And despite being a Catholic he is interested in New Age literature, mythology and metaphysics.

But meeting people has always inspired him the most and he has had the good fortune to meet quite a few interesting people. He was personally friends with horror writer, Denis Wheatley's housekeeper when she lived in Blackheath, and knew poet John Pudney who lived nearby before he passed. One of the most interesting people that he met was the daughter of the Captain of the Titanic with whom he had tea in her cottage up in Suffolk. Miss Smith was a lady with a big personality and a very interesting home. She was surrounded with Titanic memorabilia wherever you looked. Jones was only a boy at the time and didn't appreciate the significance of all this stuff, but regrets not quizzing her on the catastrophic event which has forever featured large in shipping folklore!
