The Monsters of Maumbury Rings

Even those put off by the word 'poetry' will find this a box of treasures. Each poem is expertly crafted in a style to suit it, starting with a thrilling adventure, followed by what children think of adults, Christmas lights gone mad, an unforgettable culinary disaster, a restaurant so bad it succeeds, the climate crisis in a nutshell, a disastrous school outing, the joys of becoming a grandmother, an island that moves, what tummy buttons are for, as well as nonsense, rhyme and tongue-twisters, all enlivened by Jim Housego's crisp and witty line drawings.
