Chattering at School is a series of animal poems that invites the
reader to learn and marvel at all the wonders of the natural world.
The poems include fun narratives on the surface, while containing
learning and teaching moments as the poems unfold. The book has
lovely illustrations and is full of moral lessons. The introduction
to Chattering at School: Nature poems for children explains that
these poems were written by a schoolboy aged 11 to 18 (1951-58)
during his annual summer holiday visits to his grandmother on her
small farm in Ireland. She had been his carer and guardian from the
time of the German Blitz of London where he was born, and lived
with her until the war ended in 1945. He then returned to his
unknown parents, who had been unable to visit him in Ireland from
the UK during the war. Over 60 years later, the author of these
poems - Edward Forde Hickey - discovered them (his own schoolboy
attempts at writing poetry) lying in the attic and felt they were
worth recording publicly.
