Compiled by Brian Thompson as part of the popular Breakthrough literacy/poetry series, the collection is divided into four thematic sections: People, Birds, Animals, and Weather. Each section features both traditional rhymes and works by notable poets such as Edward Lear, Alfred Lord Tennyson, William Wordsworth, Hilaire Belloc, Jack Prelutsky, Christina Rossetti, and many more. The book is lavishly illustrated with full-colour plates and integrated artwork that not only decorate the poems but actively enhance and interpret them, creating an engaging visual narrative. Contributors include some of Britain's finest children's illustrators: Peter Bailey - Known for his expressive, whimsical line work and characterful illustrations. Quentin Blake - The iconic illustrator (best known for his long collaboration with Roald Dahl), whose energetic, humorous, and instantly recognisable style appears throughout. Charles Keeping - Celebrated for his atmospheric, textured, and emotionally powerful artwork, often drawing on folklore and nature. Barry Wilkinson - Contributed vibrant, detailed scenes that complement the poetic themes. This 1975 third impression retains the vibrant original artwork and design that made the first edition so appealing.

Octavo, illustrated by Peter Melnyczuk, boards. First edition. The author's second collection of short fantasy fiction. Collects six stories. "Like the stories in her earlier collection, THE SHADOW-CAGE AND OTHER TALES OF THE SUPERNATURAL (1977), those gathered here are reminiscent of the classic British ghost story in their execution. Each is appropriately atmospheric, and each is sufficiently haunting without being too horrific for its intended audience of younger readers. In fact, adult readers may find the frequent depictions of evil children more disturbing the children do themselves." - Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror (1999) 7-293.
