About this ebook
Several holidays on Guernsey, Sark and Herm as well as Jersey, gifted me with a bucket full of memories. Beautiful scenery and lovely people made my heart sing and was inspiration for this book. Enjoy the pictures and fairy tales as well as poetry that came up on these treasures of Channel Islands.
