Reseña del libro "An Octopus Has Three Hearts (en Inglés)"
This is a collection of ten original modern folk ballads. All are satirical, tongue in cheek or just good fun! Diverse themes of love (especially for an octopus), getting old (especially for a cowboy), war from a child's point of view, money and fame, spiritual awareness and finding a way through the trials of the human condition, but always with humour. Parodies of Milton and Dante are here along with over-the-top pantomime and seaside postcard characters. It is a feast of rhyme and rhythm where the reader will enjoy a poetical journey from the ocean bed up to Heaven, back to wartime Britain, across the plains of America, into a Welsh Valley village, through Dartmoor Forest and down to the very center of Hell itself ! It features a geriatric cowboy, a romantic octopus, a jellyfish with no brain, hats a plenty, a bloodthirsty megalomaniacal pirate, God Himself, Satan himself, a pretty horse, drunkards, a retired Hell's Angel, an unexploded bomb and a gang of rude folkies...
