Serpents Tail 2012 (Kindle Edition)
An affectionate reflection on Hegley’s early life and his French heritage. Written with all the wry wit and gentle humour we have come to expect from this poet.
I particularly enjoyed the exchanges between John and his caustic French grandmother, who never sweetened the pill. This book is a gentle stroll on a sunny afternoon rather than a gallop around town. It would appeal to the younger reader and to the child in all of us.
Well worth a look.
