Mother Hen

A Child of the Thirties. Memoir with poignant recollections of childhood from the early 1930s to the end of the Second World War. This heart-warming memoir and collection of poetry written by Brenda Walker has been published posthumously by two of her children. Following Brenda's death, during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, her daughter Lynette discovered this touching personal account, which her mother had started writing in 2011. Lynette knew that her mother loved writing poetry, but finding her memories was particularly precious and something to cherish. Included are more than thirty of Brenda's delightful and previously unpublished poems. Portraying people and life's events, from the everyday to the extraordinary, her poetic observations will strike an emotional chord, and make you smile, laugh and reflect.Illustrated throughout with family photographs, this heartfelt tribute celebrates the life of a dearly loved mother and nana whose joyful spirit shines on.
