Told in the twilight

Step into a world where day melts into a silver‑gray hush, and the ordinary gives way to the strange and new. The collection opens with gentle verses that celebrate the quiet power of twilight, inviting listeners to let their imaginations drift as the sun’s last light fades. It feels like a soft lullaby for anyone who has ever treasured that in‑between moment.

From there the poems wander beneath the sea, where a young girl finds herself before a court of fish, sturgeon judges, and lobster jurors. The whimsical trial unfolds with playful language and clever wordplay, turning everyday meals into courtroom drama while hinting at deeper questions of guilt and wonder. The narrative stays light, letting the absurdity sparkle without losing its tender heart.

Interlaced with scenes of bustling London riverbanks and quiet abbey rooftops, each piece is paired with delicate illustrations that enhance the lyrical rhythm. Listeners are carried through vivid landscapes—sun‑kissed sands, misty bridges, and feathered swallows—making the whole volume a gentle escape for both children and the child‑at‑heart.
