British Library introduce their Children’s Collection of classic poetry and rhymes

Introduce your children to classic poetry and rhyme this World Book Day (3rd March), with a collection of unique re-issues published by the British Library.  You can grab classics like Edward Lear’s Book of Nonsense (£10), originally published in 1845, is an exuberant collection of nonsense limericks, illustrated throughout with Lear’s usual sharp eye for the fantastic, the bizarre and the grotesque. The Black Cat Book (£8.99), first published in 1905, combines charming rhymes by Walter Copeland with beautiful illustrations by Charles Robinson. The little black cats of the title are shown at play in many delightful scenes: at the doctor’s; going shopping; having a Christmas party; learning to spell; and playing havoc at bath-time. Check out the full collection over at The British Library.
