Jenet Le Lacheur, author of ‘Potry: A Collection of Stoned Poems’, is back – and she’s branching out from plants.
Encounter the fauna of the British Isles as you’ve never seen it before in this hilarious collection of thirty rhyming sonnets, twinned with up-close-and-personal photos in full colour. In these pages, you’ll discover odes to the Great Green Bush-cricket, the Red-veined Darter, the Blue Tit, the Grey Squirrel, and many more – all penned with Jen’s trademark wit and saucy humour.
And yes, these are sonnets for Hedge Hogs – as in hogs of hedges, a.k.a. nature nerds – because last time we checked, hedgehogs still couldn’t read.
“‘An absolute f*cking delight… I am a big fan of Attenborough documentaries and this is like if those were funnier and snappier and a little bit hornier too… a charming, witty, beautiful safari around the wildlife of Britain. (Girl on the Net)
‘In this book, Janet not only captures detailed, quirky images of Britain’s creatures, but personifies them in a poetic and sassy way. I learned so many cool words reading this book and laughed out loud a LOT… Whether you smash through this volume in one sitting, dip into it on a rainy afternoon, or read it aloud to your friends, you made an excellent choice in owning it.’ (Katy Schutte, author of The Improviser’s Way)
