Lollipops - Poems Chosen by Brian Thompson Third Impression, 1975 - Kestrel Books (Penguin) - Excellent Condition with Dust Jacket ISBN: 0 7226 5364 6 (0722653646) Publisher: Kestrel Books (an imprint of Viking Children's Books / Penguin) Publication Date: Original compilation 1971; this is the Third Impression, 1975 Format: Hardcover with dust jacket, approx. 80 pages A delightful and beautifully illustrated anthology of poetry and rhymes for young children, Lollipops brings together a rich selection of classic and modern verses chosen specifically to introduce young readers to the joys of poetry. Compiled by Brian Thompson as part of the popular Breakthrough literacy/poetry series, the collection is divided into four thematic sections: People, Birds, Animals, and Weather. Each section features both traditional rhymes and works by notable poets such as Edward Lear, Alfred Lord Tennyson, William Wordsworth, Hilaire Belloc, Jack Prelutsky, Christina Rossetti, and many more. The book is lavishly illustrated with full-colour plates and integrated artwork that not only decorate the poems but actively enhance and interpret them, creating an engaging visual narrative. Contributors include some of Britain's finest children's illustrators: Peter Bailey - Known for his expressive, whimsical line work and characterful illustrations. Quentin Blake - The iconic illustrator (best known for his long collaboration with Roald Dahl), whose energetic, humorous, and instantly recognisable style appears throughout. Charles Keeping - Celebrated for his atmospheric, textured, and emotionally powerful artwork, often drawing on folklore and nature. Barry Wilkinson - Contributed vibrant, detailed scenes that complement the poetic themes. This 1975 third impression retains the vibrant original artwork and design that made the first edition so appealing. Condition Very Good/ Excellent - This copy is in outstanding condition for a 50-year-old children's book: Interior: clean, bright, and unmarked throughout. No library stamps or markings on the text pages. Endpapers: Small, neat inscription in the upper inner corner of the front endpaper: "PTA, Jly '79" (a charming period note, likely from a Parent-Teacher Association context).

Dust Jacket: Perfect condition - bright, complete, with no tears, chips, fading, or significant wear. Not price-clipped. Boards: Clean and sharp.

Cloth. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Thus. Hardback. Sunned spine to D/J. Price clipped to D/J. In putting together these Learical Lyrics and Puffles of Prose (a booktitle which Lear himself thought of using) Brian Alderson has tried to show something of the range of bosh that Edward Lear actually produced. As well as the limericks and nonsense songs that almost everyone knows about, there are less familiar poems, rhymes and drawings, togher with a few 'eggstrax' from his letters and a dictionary of his 'wurble inwentions'. The artist's gloomy experiences among mucilaginous monks in Athos, and burst water-pipes at Walton-on-Thames are recounted with the same strange blend of exhiliration and sensitivity that he brought to the conversation between Mr. Daddy-long-leds and Mr. Floppy Fly, or the adventures of aged Uncle Arly - clipfombious to the last degree. Illustrations. 216 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
