Poetry | Anthologies | Nursery Rhymes & Children's Poetry

Matthew Sweeney's anthology represents classic poetry within the context of more recent writing - whether this be taken from the wealth of new poems written for children, or from work which, while written for adult readers, can still appeal to a child's sensibility. It contains poems by authors from many different backgrounds, cultures and geographies, but they share a quality that gives the book an imaginative integrity - a spirit of exploration, undertaken with humour and energy, where the boundaries are limitless.
