Alan Murphy was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, where he also studied fine art in college. He continues to practice his art when not writing poetry. His work has been published in Irish and British journals. Alan now resides in the beautiful town of Lismore, Co. Waterford... above the bookshop.

The Mona Lisa's On Our Fridge is an off-the-wall collection of poems for children that is populated by flowers, aliens, painters and octopuses!

Lavishly illustrated with the author's own full collages, this is a delicious concoction; magical, surreal and outrageously funny. And like many a canny nursery rhyme, this collection of poems has different layers of meaning, charting journeys through the imagination.

"Monty Python meets Walter de la Mare"

Should be suitable for children from 7 years... and adults of all ages.
