Published in aid of the Malcolm Sargent Cancer Fund for Children, this book is an anthology of the favourite childhood poems of a wide array of celebrities who all explain the reasons for their choice. They include John Major, Barbara Cartland, Paul Gascoigne, Martin Amis and Julian Clary.
A broad range of poems, two by the famous people themselves, one by a brother, one from a greeting card, a lot of Kipling and a lot of poems more complex than you generally get in a children’s selection.
