Description

What If - Various Verse about Life and Death is a collection of historical and more modern works of poetry, with the likes of William Shakespeare, Robert W. Service, William Wordsworth and many other classic poets. "What If" has been compiled by Jo Erickson for your reading enjoyment and is a fundraising project for Africyle. Africycle started as a dream by 18 year old Uxbridge sculptor and avid cyclist Ted Webb, who identified the need for bicycles to enable communities in Malawi to get food, water and much needed medical supplies. This book is dedicated to the volunteers of Africycle, as well as the African people who continue to benefit from this charitable organization.
