This is an unusual debut anthology. The verse is by turns light, refreshing, quirky and colourful. There's a pinch of nostalgia, offset with a dollop of word play and humour. Subjects range from Eric, the gardener with possible Viking ancestry to the origins of the wheel; from spending an evening with Kylie Minogue to what might have happened if Sir Isaac Newton had been Australian or if Herman Melville hadn't misheard "quail" for "whale".
