Cover Story
The poem on our front cover is taken from Figgie Hobbin by Charles Causley, with illustrations by Gerald Rose, re-issued by Macmillan (0 333 12078 7, £7.50) in May 1990. Figgie Hobbin was first published in 1970 and has remained in print ever since. We are grateful to Macmillan for help in using this illustration.

An appealing collection of ten short stories - tightly woven narratives which engage the reader's imagination and encourage speculation and interpretation. Superficial details are ignored and the focus is sharply on the main characters and issues - lesbian love, anorexia, homelessness, mental illness - disaffection; a failure to fit the expected pattern. Perfect for GCSE use and accessible to lower-ability pupils - but £3.99! How many classrooms will be able to afford it?
