Infos

One Saturday, in the middle of June, one bright and windy afternoon, all the creatures by Piggyback Wood were getting ready - as fast as they could. There was only a short time left to prepare for the birthday party at Badger's lair. On the invitation was written in red: Will guests please arrive with a hat on their head? Harry and Lil are getting ready for Badger's party, but just as Lil goes to get her hat off the washing line, it flies away. Oh no! If only shrews could fly... 'If birds fly, why can't shrews fly, too?' Adventure abounds in this delightful third Harry and Lil book from the author who brought you Hog in the Fog and The Hog, the Shrew and the Hullabaloo.

Julia Copus has published four collections of poetry and been shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot and Costa Book awards. Her most recent collection, Girlhood, was published by Faber in 2019 and was the inaugural winner of the USA's Derek Walcott Prize for best poetry collection by a non-US citizen. Other awards include First Prize in the UK's National Poetry Competition and the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem. Her 2021 biography of Bloomsbury poet Charlotte Mew, This Rare Spirit, was chosen by Sir Andrew Motion as a Spectator Book of the Year and described by John Carey in the Sunday Times as 'a triumph of precise scholarship and imaginative sympathy'. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

Rezensionen

If this gem of a book from poet Julia Copus and illustrator Eunyoung Seo is anything to go by, there is another partnership to rival Donaldson & Scheffler
