Description
A selection of over 250 poems, from ballads to Ted Hughes, from Ben Jonson to Noel Coward, made by children’s book historian Gillian Avery. If children like them as much as she does, then (she says) they will stay in the mind long after their readers have grown out of childhood. The illustrations are taken from the books of natural history made by Thomas Bewick, the celebrated English wood engraver.
