One thing that unites us all - across time, nations and peoples - is food . From chocolate, rice pudding and sandwiches to breakfast in bed, banana phones and the fruit of a mythical jelabi tree, A.F. Harrold has brought together a wonderful and diverse collection of poems on the topic of food. Beautifully illustrated in full colour by rising star Katy Riddell (daughter of former Children's Laureate, Chris Riddell), this rich and delicious anthology brings together work from a broad range of poets, including the magically observant William Carlos Williams, award-winning Joseph Coelho and the inspiring Sabrina Mahfouz. Whether you're in the mood for a perfect bowl of yoghurt or a pomegranate omelette, these poems will satisfy any food craving. The perfect gift for any poetry or food lover!
Über den Autor / die Autorin
A.F. Harrold is an English poet and children's author. He spends his time showing off on stage, writing poems and books, and stroking his beard (it helps churn the ideas). He is the author of
The Song from Somewhere Else (illustrated by Levi Pinfold), the
Fizzlebert Stump series, and the CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medal long listed
The Imaginary (illustrated by Emily Gravett). He lives in Reading with a stand-up comedian and two cats.
Katy Riddell is a young and imaginative illustrator with a BA Hons in Illustration and Animation from Manchester Metropolitan University. She grew up in Brighton and was obsessed with drawing from a young age. Plenty of encouragement from her parents, both artists and illustrators, led her to spend hours writing and illustrating her own stories, which her father (former Children's Laureate and award-winning illustrator Chris Riddell) collected throughout the years. Katy loves working with children, and currently runs an art club at her local school. She lives and works in Manchester.
