One of the greatest collections of poetry ever brought together,meant for years of use - a resource not just to be loved,but also used.'- Nancy Parsons,waldorfbooks.com'It is always a pleasure to find an anthology of poetry which has a creative context,in this case the evolving needs of the children as they progress through their school years. A classroom that rings with the beautiful and wholesome language that this anthology encourages will give the children a lifelong gift to carry out into their relationships,communities and future places of work.
