Jenny Bornholdt

This book asks, "What is a book?" Celebrating books and reading, the book captures the value and magic of books felt by all voracious readers and is a perfect gift for book-lovers of all ages. A beautifully produced, small-format jacketed hardcover with simple illustrations that are whimsical yet humorous. A book to read. A book belongs in a library, on a bookshelf, in a bookshop, in your house. A story belongs wherever a story belongs. If it's Sunday and raining, a book is the perfect thing. Even a small book, because boredom can be very big. You can read a book while you walk, but you have to be careful not to bump into things.

A Book is a Book

The Longest Breakfast

'I've begun to think of short poems as being the literary equivalent of the small house movement. Small houses contain the same essential spaces as large houses do. Both have places in which to eat, sleep, bathe and sit; they're the same, except small houses are, well, smaller.' --Jenny Bornholdt Funny, startling, poignant, illuminating, and always succinct, this anthology celebrates the many moods and forms of the short poem and demonstrates its power in holding our attention. Included here are famous names like Manhire, Glover, Hulme, Bethell and Cochrane, amongst many new and rediscovered gems.
