"description": "Peter Kenney is known worldwide as a passionate fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and the world of fantasy. Using this love and his wide-ranging imagination, Mr. Kenny has produced (in the guise of \u201cselecting\u201d poems and stories by his \u201cuncle,\u201d Fortinbras Proudfoot, Esq.) Dreams of Another Land, a collection that explores the history and happenings of a faraway land that still feels very familiar to us. Small folk, dragons, warriors, ladies, and wizards and their adventures are described in rhythmic language that is enjoyable to read, either aloud or silently.\n\nStandout poems include \u201cMushrooms,\u201d for its galloping pace and humour, and \u201cThe Last Ship Into the West,\u201d for its simultaneous elegiac farewell to one departing world, and hopeful acceptance of a new age dawning.\n\nBeautifully complementing the text are Sue Bradley\u2019s watercolour illustrations. Their soft, yet bright, colours and delicacy of line are perfectly suited to \u201cMr. Proudfoot\u2019s\u201d stories.\n\nBy turns whimsical and wistful, Dreams of Another Land will satisfy readers of all ages.\n\nSherry Larson-Rhodes: Self-employed Freelance Editor and Reference & Instruction Librarian at Milne Library, SUNY Genesco.",
