From the Back Cover
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.
‘What I’ve done here is to pick the poems I’ve found young people seem to like best. Show this collection to adults and half will be stabbing the odd page and muttering ‘This one’s a bit unsuitable, isn’t it?’ and the other half will be reeling around the room wailing, ‘What, only one Keats sonnet? Only one?’ Ignore them. Try them all – I promise, you won’t be sorry later.’
