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.

There are some nicely drawn characters here which help to bring the story to life. Leenie has been left with grandparents and now, sixteen years later, her mother reappears. Leenie learns to face up to this, partly with the help of Hazel, the nicely wise helper at the motel and a young photographer, Axel, who teaches her about both photography and herself. Thoughtful, quick reading for 2nd- and 3rd-year secondary up.
