A UK GRANDFATHER'S THOUGHTS ABOUT ISLAND SURPRISE

 

Gosh! 🌟 This new review from “Andy”, a UK grandpa, about "Island Surprise: A Bahamian Adventure" really says it all! πŸ‘΄

“I have read this delightful book πŸ“š myself, before passing it to my grandchildren. The book has a clear print, easy to read, and the charming illustrations 🎨 appear throughout. I sat down to read part of the story, and couldn’t put it down. Fay cleverly describes the beauty of the island 🌴, as well as explaining the older traditions and meaning of local words. The characters are all well presented, endearing ️, overcoming problems, friendly 😊, and helpful. A most enjoyable read. Thank you, Fay!”

Thank you so much to this UK grandpa! πŸ™

"AULD LANG SYNE" - SUNG BY FAY & ERSKINE KNOWLES


From a Scots-language poem written by Robert Burns, known as the National Poet of Scotland, in 1788, but based on an older Scottish folk song. In 1799 it was set to a traditional pentatonic tune, which has since become standard. "For auld lang syne" might be loosely translated as "for the sake of old times".

Acoustic cover by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Erskine Knowles from The Bahamas and his wife Fay, an author, long-time resident of The Bahamas and originally from Scotland. Fay's books can be found at FAY'S AMAZON AUTHOR PAGE.
