Tulgey Wood

My aged mother-in-law has now published a children's book featuring her own illustrations (sadly there are none visible in the preview):

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tales-Tugle...ds=tulgey+wood

Go on, have a look.

And if you have any young grandchildren (or great, great grandchildren), you might want to buy a copy - electronic or (coming soon) hard copy.

Re: Tulgey Wood

That's so lovely

My late MIL who I have to admit to only knowing a short time, amazed me that she had poetry published.

It's no longer in print but we have a hand bound copy as a keepsake

What amazes me about it is she left school at 14 and went into service until she met FIL and married. Then she became a wife and mother to 5, her life was the home and church.

I remember sitting talking to her one day and her telling me that all her life her voice was her husbands until he died, when she finally got an education from the library. Her poetry was/is of someone who was really educated, if only through life

Re: Tulgey Wood

Thanks SM and Missy.

Here are a couple of examples of her work. Poems with illustrations in this case. The book is all stories, but the illustrations will be similar pen drawings.

Re: Tulgey Wood

Incidentally, Tulgey Wood is a real place in Plymouth. My brother-in-law and his wife bought quite a large tract of wild land and are developing it with the intention of eventually including a visitors' centre.
