ANNE FINE
Children’s Laureate 2001-3
Winner of two Carnegie Medals and
twice-winner of both the Whitbread Award and the Children’s Author of the Year Award
and a life-long lover of poetry, has chosen the poems she thinks it would be a shame to miss.
‘Many young people come to poetry through someone older with a passion for it. I’ve chosen these particular poems because they are the ones I really wouldn’t want you to miss. And I’ve tried to explain anything you need to know to enjoy them first time.’
