Books with author Fusek Peters

At 6'8 1/2", Andrew Fusek Peters is Britain's tallest poet. His collections include Sadderday and Funday, Love Hate and My Best Mate, and Poems with Attitude (the only poetry collection to have ever made the Carnegie long-list). This book combines a selection of the best of his published work, plus new material specially written with Lion's audience in mind. Andrew's poems focus on themes including family, friendship, pets, seasons and schools, and mix the side-splitting with the serious - making a varied and valuable collection.

Breathing, hurricanes, thunder and lightning, migration and the historic first hot air balloon flight, all are featured in the poems in Air, a collection that captures this essential element. Shape poems, funny and thoughtful poems, traditional and new poems, each very different from the next, and full of surprises, but all sharing an elemental link. The Elements in Poetry series brings together an exciting mix of poetical works form near and far on earth, fire, water, and air, with images that leap off the page. The books are a delightful introduction to a rich variety of poetry which cannot fail to make readers young and old think anew about the amazing world that we live in.
