Description

Publishing in time for National Poetry Day, this fun-filled and magic-packed book of poetry is perfect for reading aloud. Tony Ross's wonderfully humorous and energetic illustrations accompany the poems throughout. Adrian Mitchell and Tony Ross have worked together before on the Orchard list, with Balloon Lagoon. This collection received such praise as, "Here are the tunes that future generations will hum." Roger McGough "In the world of verse nobody has produced more surprising verse or more genuinely inspired fun than Adrian Mitchell." Ted Hughes

Adrian Mitchell was born in London and studied at Oxford University where he passed most of his time learning to write poems. After leaving University, Adrian spent several years as a journalist and his great claim to fame is that he was the first reporter on a national paper to interview the Beatles.

Adrian became a full-time writer of plays, stories and poems and was regarded as one of the country's finest poets and playwrights. He was also a regular performer for adults and children and gave over a thousand poetry readings throughout Britain, Europe, USA, Africa and Asia.

Adrian's plays included The White Deer, The Wild Animal Song Contest, Mowgli's Jungle, The Snow Queen and The Pied Piper for children, and for adults, Tyger (The National Theatre) and Man Friday. Adrian's version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was premiered by the Royal Shakespeare Company for whom he also adapted Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass for the stage. He also wrote three Beatrix Potter plays which were staged with great success by The Unicorn Theatre for Children - Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-Duck and Peter Rabbit and His Friends.

Adrian passed away in December 2008 and is survived by his wife, who runs the bookshop Ripping Yarns, in Highgate.
