A collection of children's poems from beloved poet Charles Causley, illustrated by John Lawrence.
Charles Causley è un poeta profondamente radicato in Cornovaglia, la sua casa per tutta la vita. Il suo lavoro trae spesso ispirazione dal ricco arazzo di leggende e paesaggi della regione, infondendo la sua poesia con un distinto senso del luogo. La voce unica di Causley cattura l'essenza sia del quotidiano che del mitico, facendo risuonare la sua poesia con i lettori che apprezzano la profondità lirica e un forte legame con l'eredità. I suoi scritti esplorano temi duraturi con chiarezza e una cadenza memorabile.

`One of the finest poets of his generation' Vernon Scannell, Sunday Telegraph schovat popis
Alongside such familiar favourites as Edward Thomas's 'Adlestrop', John Masefield's 'Sea-Fever', Thomas Gray's 'Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard' and Stevie Smith's 'Not Waving But Drowning', here are Jenny Joseph threatening to be a disreputable old lady, Patrick Chalmers on the wisdom of the fairground, V.L. Edminson on a good cure for bad temper and F.W. Harvey celebrating the comical duck. Heroism, the seasons, birth, death, work and eccentric characters: these are poems for every mood and taste, from the whole range of verse in English.
This collection of verse for children includes poems describing elves, changelings, wizards, ghosts, mermaids, incantations and curses. The editor has also included poems which seem to reflect the magic of the natural world and everyday life.
