About this product
Product Information
A brand-new collection of Britain's best-loved poetry, handpicked by Gyles Brandreth Following the recent success of the bestselling Have You Eaten Grandma? Gyles Brandreth is back with his next love-letter to language. In his last book Gyles lamented the rise of emojis, this misuse of punctuation and the younger generation's lack-lustre approach to language. In this stunning new book, Gyles celebrates the finest uses of English by handpicking the ultimate anthology of Great Britain's best-loved poems. He urges us to savour the perfect couplets, delicate words, and clever quips by learning these exquisite poems by heart. By savouring, memorising and sharing these poems we can begin to increase literacy rates, which are at an all-time low, while enriching our lives with the joy of language. Gyles writes emphatically about the beauty, diversity and ingenuity of the language used in these poems, and the way in which they can transform our lives.Product Identifiers

Timeless, witty and wonderfully moreish.
What a delightful read, such a beautifully compiled array of poetry and limericks. Definitely worthy of binge read, especially with the chillier nights drawing in and a cheeky glass of wine in hand, sit back, forget the world, and enjoy! Suitable for readers and audience's of many ages, notably helpful, read aloud to those with Alzheimer's and Dementia. (Proved an absolute hit with a friend's Dementia Group.)Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Dancing by the Light of the Moon
Lovely book, full of nice poems and verse. Lots of tips, advice and reasons on how to learn poetry by heart. ( my wife said she saw me walking along the street talking to myself, I explained that actually I was reciting ‘I wondered lonely as s cloud’ by Wordsworth and felt very smug!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
