Gillian Avery, historian of children's books and novelist whose
first book THE WARDEN'S NEICE has become a modern classic of
children's literature, has made a very personal selection of
favourite poems. 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. Her taste is for the Augustan rather than
the Romantic writers, but her choice of over two hundred and fifty
pieces ranges widely, from ballads to Ted Hughes, from Ben Jonson
to Noel Coward. The illustrations are taken from the books of
natural history made by Thomas Bewick, the celebrated English wood
engraver.
