Castles and Kings - Poems and Things

CASTLES & KINGS-POEMS & THINGS was originally designed by the author as a Christmas present in 2006 for his family of 11 children and over 60 grandchildren. It drew upon writings from the last seventy years, some of which have been published in other media and others that are original to this book.

The only writing genre left out of this current volume is excerpts from his seven plays and five industrial shows, some of which were full musical productions, and all of which were felt too long for inclusion.

Now approaching four score years and a victim of macular degeneration, the author felt it best to reduce his work to a manageable size for his children to read.

Discover the adventures of a boy's life during the 1930's, relive the horrors of battle and loss, and then rise up with patriotic pride in song.

Pursue a beautiful woman in romantic quests and tag along reading quirky poems about computers and Thanksgiving.

This book will whet your appetite with a potpourri of short stories and poems, all wrapped up in an ethereal dream of Castles & Kings, Poems & Things.
