How many of one’s favourite poems are story poems? This is a wonderful collection of over sixty narratives in verse with thrilling tales that will keep you in suspense and delight you over and over again.

All the classic poems you would expect are here, such as ‘Jabberwocky’, ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’ and ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ and these combine with more modern but equally satisfying poems to make a rich and varied anthology, illustrated in colour and black and white throughout. Authors include Edward Lear, Walter de la Mare, J.R.R. Tolkien and Michael Rosen.
