AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This is a selection of five short stories, each involving a conversation between a poet and two children, Roma and Margaret Joan. Each time the poet tells the children a story with a religious theme (usually a story relating to the life of Christ).

Notes

  • 'I am convinced that there is no writer in the English Language who, in stories about children, shows such delicacy of treatment and exquisite artistry' (from the Foreword by Eustace Boylan).
