There are poems in this superb volume that will shine for as long as there are humans to read them -- Kevin Crossley-Holland * Times Educational Supplement *
Hardly a page in this handsome volume fails to impress and enchant with technical virtuosity and unnerving imagination. -- Alan Brownjohn * Sunday Times *
Before I was made Poet Laureate, I was asked to name my choice of the best poet for the job. Without hesitation I named Charles Causley – this marvelously resourceful, original poet. -- Ted Hughes
One of the finest poets of his generation -- Vernon Scannell * Sunday Telegraph *

Author's Bio
Charles Causley (1917-2003) was one of England's most distinguished poets. Ted Hughes said, 'Among the English Poetry of the last half-century, Charles Causley's could well turn out to be the best loved and the most needed.' Apart from six years in the wartime Royal Navy he lived almost all his life in his native town of Launceston in Cornwall, where he also once worked as a teacher. He has published many collections of his work both for adults and for children and won a number of literary awards and prizes. In 1986 he was appointed CBE.
