The thoughts and responses, both creative and reflective, of a writer passionate about the world we live in and the impact of individuals and events. Tony Earnshaw responds to both global issues and happenings closer to home, explores the role of the arts, the importance of community and the encouragement we can give to each other. Along the way he manages to rewrite fairy stories for the modern world, bemoan the scarcity of tea shops in the late afternoon, write movingly about family, celebrate music and theatre, and comment on wars, politics and matters of faith.
Collated and published in response to demand from readers of his weekly blog, this is a thought-provoking collection of writings which will move the reader to laughter and tears and will challenge assumptions, and provoke thought, with each item accompanied by accessible poetry in which the writer shows his mastery of a range of styles and techniques.
