On a Bat's Back

A beautifully presented anthology of poetry, chosen with children in mind and designed to form a bedrock of knowledge to accompany them through life. Richly illustrated by Roland Pym, the poems range from nursery rhymes to mature and thoughtful themes, the poets ranging from the seventeenth century classics to twentieth century figures such as Auden, Belloc, Betjeman, and Eliot, amongst many others.
