'If you are a dreamer, come in ...' An invitation from Shel Silverstein, Jill Bennett's name on the cover, illustrations from Paddy Mounter which are vital and yet sensitive as he moves confidently between zany humour and delicate poems-this collection cannot fail. Jill Bennett's brilliance shines through. It's her sure touch and care in the selection and juxtaposition of poems which rings so confident and true that, to name but a few, Peake, Wright, Rosen and Prelutsky sit comfortably with Tennyson, Tolkien, Longfellow and Lawrence leading the reader on and on. This is a book for dreamers, it's a book of visions and a book to savour.
