Media Reviews
Children will enjoy the humour as well as the more scary and stark slants * Junior Education *
Its range is impressive and, although there's plenty of mandatory playground jokiness, room is found for several well-chosen extracts from Shakespeare ... plus Keats, Coleridge, Rossetti, Yeats and some fine contemporary work such as Helen Dunmore's poignant 'Asking the Hare'. * Times Educational Supplement *
a vibrant collection * Parent Wise *
