There's no doubt that local dialects are on the decline. Many young people today never hear of them. Through her poems, Gwen Ellis aims to revive an interest in them. Her poems are written in such a way that everyone can understand the spoken 'Wiltshire Dialect'. Following numerous requests, Gwen had 34 of her poems published in her first volume called "Moonshine". The venture was a great success, and "More Moonshine" and "More and More Moonshine" were subsequently published. All these poems, including twenty new ones, have now been incorporated in this edition "All My Moonshine".
