Wouldn't it be wonderful to be called something as interesting as Yo-Yo Ma, what a great name, it sings at you, a bit like F. Scott Fitzgerald or W.B. Yates and I was thinking about Yates because I had just read He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven which I found on a card that I had slipped into a book. Isn't it great when that happens? I keep most postcards etc that are sent to me and I have books all over the house just storing them for me - waiting to surprise me. I found it in a 1974 copy of The Great Gatsby and so now I have F. Scott, W.B. and Yo-Yo Ma all in one posting out of sheer coincidence - my what decedent delights. But I found something else today, you can get my book, Write for Children on Kindle! Nobody told me that - I only know because I have to buy myself a new copy of my own book. But when I searched Amazon I also saw this review that I never knew I had: 'This is a handbook for those who aspire to write for children, for experienced writers who wish to understand the different requirements of different readerships, and for those who simply wish to learn more about the books they, their children or young library members are reading ... This practical up-to-date guide for writing for children, illustrated by a wealth of published and tailor-made examples, should find a place on library shelves and those of many a writer and reader.' - Orana, Australian Library and Information Association - such delightful chaos! Perhaps I already have the cloths of heaven:Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with the golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams...
Yo man!
