John Waddell comments on
the events of daily life
with a dry humour. He
loves his garden and is
passionate about his
native Scotland, but
deplores the blight of
modern town planning and
the litter in the
streets. His comments on
human nature - not
excluding his own
foibles - show a wryly
comic insight.
About the author
Members of
the Caledonian Society to
which John Waddell belongs
know him to be a very keen
gardener, with a garden the
envy of all. All his poems
about gardening are
deliciously funny, but the
poem Gairden Walk,
which goes from disaster to
disaster, is a real gem.
While so many of his poems
on a wide range of human
experience express delicate
and wry humour, his personal
and deeper poems are
especially sensitive and
moving.

This is the third book of
poems by John Waddell,
following the publication of
his first very successful
collection, The Flying
Snail and his second
book, A Glimpse of Eden.
This time all the poems are
written in the beautiful,
rich, and descriptive Scots
language familiar to all
brought up north of the
border.
New book coming soon 'One
Hundred Poems'.
Of
Laundries and Rabbits.
by John Waddell & Ellen
Waddell
The captivating story of two
people who grew up in two
very different
environments—one in the
harsh economical conditions
of urban London, the other
in the picaresque
countryside of rural
Scotland.
Book by John Waddell's
brother, Alexander Waddell:
This is a really a
remarkable book about World
War 2. So many
battlegrounds—first in the
Shetlands (a preparation
rather than a battle), then
the desert in North Africa,
then D-Day itself into
France, and finally Norway!
As a first-hand account by
someone directly involved in
these battles, especially
the D-day invasion, this
work is a very valuable
record of history.
