A collection of children's poems from beloved poet Charles Causley, illustrated by John Lawrence.
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.
Church bells ought to greet the arrival of Causley's Collected
Poems for Children . . . it is so plum-pudding-rich in delight

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*
