The Turquoise Scarf Jane Rosegarden

Jane Rosegarden's first book, 'The Turquoise Scarf and other eight line verses' is a short book of 31 verses, each one made up of exactly eight lines, with the occasional variation. Also nicknamed as 'Octojots' by the author herself. The subject matter is varied and the language is simple to understand, yet the writing is introspective and personal, touching on childhood memories, dreams and glimpses of character observation. Six of the verses have an accompanying illustration. Perfect as a stocking filler, this 49 page book makes for a light-hearted and enjoyable read. Just the thing to indulge in over a quiet coffee break or to read aloud with the family. Suitable for all ages 8 to Adult.
