Turn of a leaf is a collection of poetry

written in styles which originated in

oriental countries. Poetry from the east

is often a snapshot of an image or

images and set down to paper in a style

to induce the same emotion or thoughts

in the reader as witnessed by the poet.

By turning each leaf you will find

scenes of nature, often with an unusual

perspective, lovers loved and lovers lost,

children at play and even the everyday

person about their daily routine.

Down in the Wooded Valley is a collection of poetry for children and of childhood, which will often appeal to all ages. Andrew Hide has set many of these poems in Cornwall and the mystical atmosphere which can be found there and in the local legends which are apparent in this volume.
