Ring-a-Ring O'Roses: A Book of Nursery Rhymes

Ring-a-Ring O'Roses is a large format, 96-page book with spirited full colour illustrations throughout accompanied by delicate black and white silhouettes. It will be enjoyed by every family and every classroom from nursery to sixth form and beyond as Alan Marks gives these rhymes the universal appeal they rightfully deserve. The organisation of the book is masterly with rhymes that take the reader forward and pace that keeps up that momentum. At the same time Marks lets you linger to wonder at the breathtaking variety of mood he creates with illustrations that haunt, amuse, challenge and move you but always, cleverly, lure you ever onwards. Alan Marks has taken the concept of the whole book as a single work of art. It is awe inspiring!
