The Puffin Book of Salt-sea Verse

'One of the finest poets of his generation' Vernon Scannell, Sunday TelegraphThis revised collection gathers together Charles Causley's poetry spanning a period of more than fifty years and includes his most recent unpublished work as well as some of his poems for children. 'There are poems in this superb volume that will shine for as long as there are humans to read them' Kevin Crossley-Holland, Times Educational Supplement 'Almost everything in his Collected Poems communicates with instant, attention-seizing effect, and few living poets are so readily memorised . . . hardly a page in this handsome volume fails to impress and enchant with technical virtuosity and unnerving imagination' Alan Brownjohn, Sunday Times

Collected Poems, 1951-2000

Twenty-four Hours

The Macmillan Treasury of Poetry for Children

Michael Foreman

On the rugged Cornish coast, where the land meets the sea, lies the village of Zennor. Here, there are stories and whispers of a villager capturing the heart of a mysterious and beautiful stranger - a stranger from the sea - a mermaid!
