This is a travel book with a difference, this is a poetic journey across two continents, visiting as diverse places as the giant metropolises of Manhattan, Amsterdam and London, right down to the tiny traffic-free Channel Island of Sark!

These tales have been inspired and written about places I have visited in the evocative Red Rose County and the people I encountered along the way. Some of these are people I have met, others from the past brought to life once again through the power of words. This is a county I have come to know intimately over the decades, my first live poetry shows were right there in Lancashire and I actually lived within the Preston area when writing this collection. I always see my poetic tales as windows offering glimpses into a frozen moment of time, rather like seeds trapped within amber.

A poetic antidote to the often heaviness of living here in this 21st Century. Looking around to find the quirky and frequently silliness in everyday situations. Reputed to be Dean Fraser’s final poetry book; if you ever find yourself needing to smile or laugh a little more, this collection was put together for you! The poet speaks of travel not going quite according to plan; he shares finding himself unwittingly taking part in a bridal fayre and throughout this collection most of all what comes across are his hilarious off-the-wall observations of life.
