This inspirational volume is the starting point on a very special journey to
a whole spectrum of thoughts and feelings, magical
lands and faraway places.
The collection features works suitable for children by some of the
world's most well-known and much-loved writers and poets,
including Lewis Carroll, Oscar Wilde, Thomas Hardy, Edgar Allen Poe, Christina Rossetti,
William Shakespeare, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson. It includes favourites such as The Owl and the Pussy Cat, The North Wind Doth Blow, How Doth the Little Crocodile, Wynken, Blynken and Nod, and Star Light, Star Bright; songs and chants such as Waltzing Matilda,
or It's Raining, It's Pouring; evocative poems such as
Spring by William Blake, and When That I Was And
A Little Tiny Boy by William Shakespeare; and lullabies such as Hush Little Baby. Split into thematic chapters, there are poems of
animals and birds, songs of the sea, love and
adventure, boys and girls, happiness and sadness,
childhood and travel - some hundreds of years old
and others refreshingly modern. Gold embellishments decorate the cover and
every page.
