A lovely book of poems inspired by the Lost Gardens of Helicon in Cornwall, each featuring a creature's 'dwelling place'. Some very short, like Warren and Web (which I particularly like!) and others much longer and very witty, such as the brilliant and very funny Insect Hotel. This was out and out my favourite poem in the book!
Interspersed with gorgeous illustrations by Beth Munro, this is a beautiful slim volume, perfect to dip into, or to give as a gift. My copy was a Christmas gift from a friend, and it is definitely a keeper.
