Description
Truly one of a kind book of poems that delves deep into the meaning of money and financial concepts including interest rate, compounding, budget, mortgage, insurance, pension, tax and stock exchange among others and takes a reader on a journey to the Royal Mint and the Trial of the Pyx.
Money is seldom considered an inspiring topic for poets. Detailing and explaining complex financial instruments in rhyming poetry is no small achievement. It distinguishes the author from other writers on the subject and gives readers a distinct and unique angle of understanding money. The book is relevant to anyone interested in money as a subject, students of related disciplines, professionals of the industry, poetry lovers and ordinary readers looking for an insightful read.
Reciting a poem or two from this publication might well impress and convince the party that the speaker is a money expert, no less.
The book is a comfortable size that fits neatly into the average handbag. The art and linguistic poise make it a desirable gift.
LONDON BABY MONEY is the 9th book in the LONDON BABY series following LONDON BABY SEASIDE, LONDON BABY RIDES, LONDON BABY CHRISTMAS, LONDON BABY SIGHTS, LONDON BABY MARKETS, LONDON BABY BELLS, LONDON BABY BIRTHDAY, LONDON BABY WILDLIFE.
REVIEWS
***** by Cindy Topps, Goodreads
One thing is certain, Lande Jewels` LONDON BABY series always offers the fresh, unique and unexpected, something for everyone, which is why they also make such welcome gifts for all occasions. MONEY takes us on a whirlwind tour of that, which makes the world go `round and touches us all. Our author`s thoughtful, critical understanding of the subject is rendered in verse, something I wouldn`t normally associate with that complex topic, but which is surprisingly “dead on” in its focus, covering all aspects, and even giving the vanishing Cockney`s take on money. I find the nicest touches of all, the highlighting of the responsibilities and obligations surrounding the accumulation of wealth and the intangibility of that, which it cannot procure. Remember, death and taxes are inevitable – and still, you can`t take it with you!
