In the long-requested debut selection of the work of Baz Cooper and Kevin Collier, you can read about:-

• The fence at the Otley Old Folks' Home that was built a little too efficiently.....
• The Railway Line that died but wouldn't lie down.....
• The Lovestruck Pig that climbed the Chevin - after demolishing Weegmann's Window.....
• The Local Pub Dog whose dreams came true.....
• The Mystery of the Sammy Ledgard's Bus that disappeared on the West Chevin Road.....

  .....plus no fewer than 23 other Poems and Monologues, with occasional illustrations, guaranteed to make you think a bit and keep you chuckling throughout the long winter evenings.

  Of the 28 pieces in the book, three are included in the links on the left hand side of the page (and these really do change every day, honest, as long as you have Java Script enabled for your browser), plus a page with a few samples from the other poems.

  The purpose of this site is to bring the Bards' work to a larger audience rather than just to flog the book, and we can't take orders over the internet, but, if you really can't wait for tomorrow's helping, you can buy the book from the outlets below.
