Dreaming of the day I have my little house in the country, for now, I write about it.

Fields of Green

If you have ever stood facing the ocean and found yourself shading your eyes and squinting to try and see as far as possible, then you can imagine what it is like to stand in front of acres and acres of green alfalfa fields. At first you can see the alfalfa plants strand by strand and row by row after a while the lines blur and it becomes a sea of green, swaying with the wind the way the waves sway in the ocean. At sea there will occasionally be a solitary boat calmly sailing deep off into the distance, and it seems to fit in so perfectly, so naturally, that you almost forget it’s man-made. That’s the way I feel about our house which is surrounded by fields of green as far-off as the eye can see, the house seems to belong here just as much as I do…

If you are a fan of Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes you will really enjoy Rhymes from the Cabbage Patch. The rhymes vary in their levels of naughtiness and shock value, from the very shocking using the occasional controversial word or phrase to the very appropriate “inappropriate” rhyme and story. The books starts off a bit slow with the introduction of characters from the authors other books, but it continues to get better and better until it gets plain genius, brilliantly mischievous, wicked and playfully dark. I enjoyed some of the stories more than others but those that I enjoyed I LOVED, the book is a good length too.
For those who enjoy fractured fairy tales, Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes and have an equally wicked sense of humor and tolerance for the cleverly bizarre this book is one to read.

Word of caution- this book is certainly not a book for the sensitive reader and contains a few strong words and references, it is however wickedly funny and entertaining.
