The Strangest of Antics: A Bewitching Brew of Humour, Excitement, Sadness and Total Imagination

It's exciting to fight battles, to rescue damsels in distress, and to make important decisions. But children grow up fast as well...
From the first page of The Strangest Of Antics onwards is a mixture of humour, excitement, sadness and total imagination. From a cat being stolen, to a broken-hearted cricket bat who feels there is nothing more to life, to a pimple that refuses to go away. Other poems deal with hard battles like self-esteem issues.
The book is suitable for pre-teenagers or anyone who loves animals, forests and bewitching tales. Read these poems aloud to hear the intensity and yearnings of its inhabitants - of wishes that can sometimes come true.

"An exciting book of verse not just for the young but for all ages. Simple rhymes lie alongside sophisticated moral issues. This is a book for all of us in which Leone Purdy has stirred up a wondrous mix of fun and wisdom."
-- Michael Fox, an U3A Bairnsdale writer
"Entertaining, funny, joyous, and sad but most of all -- clever, very clever ! A well combined assortment of poems for lots of situations..."
