For more than thirty years Wendy Cope has been one of the nation`s most popular and respected poets. Christmas Poems collects together her best festive poems, including anthology favourites such as `The Christmas Life`, together with new and previously unpublished work. Cope celebrates the joyful aspects of the season but doesn`t overlook the problems and sadness it can bring. With lively illustrations to accompany the words, it is a book to enjoy this Christmas and in years to come.
