The Maguk Well

The author goes by the nom de plume Leoni Robens, loves writing poems of love, valour, knights in shining armour, giants, mermaids and all sorts of fairy folks. She has won a scholarship in English and won certificates for elocution, drama, singing and handwriting. The author loves cooking, gardening, painting and singing and has sung in her mother-in-law, Heather's choir for many shows performed on stage. Her favourite authors are George MacDonald, William Shakespeare, Lewis Caroll, Enid Blyton, Frances Hodgson Burnett and Hans Christian Anderson and her favourite book is Alice in Wonderland. She completed her Bachelor's degree in Commerce. At present she is a housewife, but still continues writing these enjoyable poems, to entertain adults as well as young minds with some fun and magic. She believes that the "PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD" and hopes that one day her pen will bring out the best in song, dance, and dramatics to be performed on stage by budding enthusiastic young actors, which would add another feather to her cape.

She lives in Mumbai with her husband, son, mother and her pet moustache parakeets Alice Liddle and Charlie Brown. Her previously published books - "A Fairy's Quill: Poetry Book for Children" & "Maguk World - Wonderland Fairy Carousel of Poems" are quite popular among young readers.
