{"product_id":"memories-of-another-land-peter-kenny-9789492469090","title":"Memories of Another Land","description":"\u003cp\u003eOnce again Peter Kenny, known worldwide as a passionate fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and the world of fantasy, has given us a treasury of poems, \u003cem\u003eMemories of Another Land\u003c\/em\u003e. Mr. Kenny has revisited the world of his first collection of poems, \u003cem\u003eDreams of Another Land\u003c\/em\u003e, to continue to explore the bygone years and half-remembered histories of this other land, both familiar and strange to our own eyes and memories. Brave warriors, travelling wizards, voyagers making their long ways across land and sea, and lovers both together and apart are described with language that in places is delicately pastel and in other places vividly coloured. Some poems describe dark beings and darkness falling across the land, but against this gloom stands the presence--in some poems prominently, in others as a small brave figure--of hope, for better days, peaceful times, and love reunited. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Kenny's previous illustrator, Sue Bradley, has again provided lovely watercolour illustrations to pair with the poems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotable poems include \"The Clans Will Gather,\" with its echoes of Celtic traditions, and \"His Golden Ring,\" with just the right touch of eeriness along with vivid imagery. The Title Poem \"Memories of Another Land\" is a lovely poem which reminds us that not all we \"know\" is true, and that it's what people have inside them that produces evil--or by extension good. Big folk and small, young folk and old, will all find something to enjoy in \u003cem\u003eMemories of Another Land\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSherry Larson-Rhodes.\u003cem\u003e First Year Experience Librarian at SUNY Geneseo, \u0026amp; freelance editor.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Kenny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 949246909X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789492469090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ranger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.24d","brand":"Peter Kenny","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487207928063,"sku":"9789492469090","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32375e0a-795e-47f4-b18c-aa99ac192104.jpg?v=1778059042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memories-of-another-land-peter-kenny-9789492469090","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
