Poems from a Norfolk Farmhouse - read by Mal Cannell by LauraCannell published on 2020-04-06T12:21:46Z Norfolk Antique Dealer Mal Cannell reads his favourite poems old and new with his calming Norfolk warmth. These are magical poems to fall asleep to. "When my sister and I were little, living in a cottage on the edge of a Norfolk marshland village, my dad would read us poems instead of stories as we headed off to sleep. He has a calm voice and a way with rhythm and words which came out through the poems of Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll and others. We loved those poems and would request them, some of my favourites and earliest memories are by Edward Lear. We could both hear the poems as we shared a room and it had wooden divider but no door, so that we had our own space, our own tiny rooms. Over the last few weeks as we are all in our separate spaces, only an hour away in reality but weeks away in physicality he has started reading them again. But this time I asked if he would record them and send them over as I thought it might be a good time to share the readings, a calming bedtime story, or for when it all gets too much and we need an escape from our own heads. He is Antique Dealer who has always had a love for poetry, literature, and finds the beauty in the simple and intricate. He left school at 16 becoming a technical engineer for BT and at 36 went full time into self-employment buying and selling antiques and handmade carpets. Antiques Dealers all have tall tales to tell, and by default have to have a good imagination to see the beauty in the broken or the unloved. At the moment the shop is closed but the poetry and stories go on." Laura Cannell - Musician.
