I got this for dd a couple of months ago and had forgotten about it, but this morning she got it off her bookshelf and we had a whale of a time reading the poems out loud - they are just brilliant

dd was thoroughly enjoying the rhythms and rhymes and the way the words just roll off your tongue - some of the language is a bit archaic, but that doesn't seem to put her off
