Cover Story
The poem on our front cover is taken from Figgie Hobbin by Charles Causley, with illustrations by Gerald Rose, re-issued by Macmillan (0 333 12078 7, £7.50) in May 1990. Figgie Hobbin was first published in 1970 and has remained in print ever since. We are grateful to Macmillan for help in using this illustration.

Barbara Firth
A lovely Charles Causley poem about farm animals, illustrated by the winner of the 1988 Kate Greenaway medal. A delight to eye and ear whatever our age... although I suspect it's meant for the very young.
