While having fun with Washing Lines: A collection of poems, Barbara and Janie discovered they have many other things in common, including an interest in all things precious, semi-precious and sparkly. This is a book of poems inspired by that sparkle and the specialness of jewels and jewellery, and the emotions they arouse and represent. Jewellery means many things and doesn't have to be precious. A ring is the sign of eternal love, a string of pearls could be a string of memories and moments. It is a collection of over 50 poems ranging from an engraving on a 17th century watchcase, through nursery rhymes to contemporary poets such as T S Eliot, Gillian Clarke, Carol Ann Duffy, James Fenton, Helen Dunmore and Kathleen Jamie. There are also more than a dozen black and white illustrations as diverse as a wood engraving by Harry Brockway, a 15th century engraved manuscript and Alice Patullo's Pearly King and Queen. Every culture since time immemorial has understood the importance of jewellery, whether plain or precious, so this book will not only appeal to poetry lovers but also to anyone who has ever treasured a piece of jewellery for whatever reason.

During the production and marketing of Washing Lines Barbara and Janie discovered they have many things in common other than a love of laundry and poetry. They both love liquorice, they both love angels, and they both inherited trinket boxes from their grandmothers which fascinated them as young girls and grew into an interest in all things precious, semi-precious and sparkly. Barbara bought and sold jewellery in an antique stall for several years. Thus our new collection of poetry inspired by jewels and jewellery came to life. Unsurprisingly these poems are rarely about the face value of the gemstones; rather they tell stories of love and loss, memories and moments. We hope you will treasure them too.

paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
