'Children's Book of the Week'lovely...a delight for both parents and children
A treasure trove of some of Ireland's best-loved poets,this collection celebrates the magic of the written word in poetic form. While readers may recognise some famous names like WB Yeats,Katharine Tynan,Oscar Wilde,and Eva Gore-Booth,the selection of poems are a mixture of familiar classics and lesser-known verses. Erin Brown's sumptuous illustrations enhance the sense wonderment in what would make a beautiful keepsake gift for any child
An attractive hardback collection of well-known Irish poems,from Pangur Ban,to The Lake Isle of Innisfree and The Little Waves of Breffny. Each poem is illustrated in glowing colour,with lots of detail to draw young eyes in. Adults will love the nostalgic range of verse from our rich poetic past,children will enjoy the rhythm and rhyme and the stories that many of the poems paint with their words
