" "I came into the world of wildlife s a five-year-old when my father bought n 83 acre farm in taranakite. It was a place where the Maori could not live. Tauranga, 'The land of the crying owl.' It was here I began to live in the world of animals and birds an adventurous life. From the moment I saw the hawk in the sky, I wanted to fly. With my over imaginative friend, it became our dream, to travel to and hunt in Canada and Africa. Lawrence died young, so his dream to hunt the world died with him. Lawrence did realize his dream to fly, and he did it first and magnificently. For money we hunted hedgehog at a shilling a snout, so they called us 'The Hedgehog Kids.' We escaped education in the countryside. Under-aged I joined the army to fight in he Middle East, to escape my adventure, but the war was won in a week, instead I went to the city. Thee, I worked on he railways and wharves, in the freezing works, at a brass foundry and a fertilizer works. I became a motelier and a farmer, a hunting and tourist guide, I came to see all the places we had dreamed of as boys and as men. I made and lost my fortune and almost my life, but never lost my love of wild places, or of what matters most for all of us, rich or poor, of life itself." Dreams do come true! Autobiography, adventure.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Kate Young's compassionate, finely crafted poems do for the primary school what Hannah Lowe's award-winning 'The Kids' did for the secondary school. Like Lowe she opens the classroom door to introduce us to fictional, yet authentic, depictions of pupils in a class. Meet the young carer, the neglected, the boy in care, the child with learning difficulties. Each offers a challenge to a teacher operating in an educational system that sees children as 'data' and delivers the imperative to 'close the gap'. Yet Young's poems treat each individual with great empathy, understanding and respect, never failing to find 'the lustre in the centre of each one' and to remind us of the duty we all owe to our children to help them to make the most of their life chances. If only all teachers had such poetry in their soul!"Nigel Kent"As a former primary teacher who has only recently retired, Kate Young does not look at education through rose-tinted lenses; neither is she cynical. Far less concerned about curriculum's formalities than with expressions of compassion so crucial to children's development, Kate unflinchingly explores the anguish of some of the young lives she has quietly influenced over past decades. Her poetic voice emerges clear, unblinkered, warm; she employs her skills as a poet in language unfreighted with propaganda or political point-scoring: rather, her work is sensitive, nudging readers to think more deeply about those times supposedly "the best days of our lives"-but too often nothing of the sort."Lizzie Ballagher Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
