The Happy Garden: New & Selected Poems for Children
Author(s): Peter Bland
Poetry | Educational Resources
Peter Bland’s collected poems for children are a major addition to a poetic presence spanning over sixty years. He began writing these poems for his own children in the 1950s, and has continued ever since … “Beguiled,” he says, “by the physicality of the childhood imagination, a sense of performance, and a love for the spoken word.”
