Cover Story
The illustration on our cover is taken from Stories for Children by Oscar Wilde, illustrated by P J Lynch, 0 7500 0302 2, £10.00 (see Fairy Tale Favourites). The book is published by Simon & Schuster and we're grateful to them for help in using this illustration.
A collection of poems with a summer holiday theme, being mainly concerned with seaside activities. There are contributions from children as well as from a wide range of poets including Causley, Reeves, Keats, Judith Nicholls, Stevenson, Rosen and Gareth Owen. With such a seasonal theme the book will probably be most read around holiday time, but at this time of year could serve as a reminder of the summer delights of sea and sand.
