Inscription on cover page

'Laura's Poems' is a collection of Laura Ranger's work written between the ages of six and nine. There are poems about zoos and pets, her parents and her little brother, the beach, Christmas, nature and the seasons. All demonstrate a delight in language, a playfulness with words that is lively and fresh, and an awesome precision and economy of expression. These poems are full of life and intelligent good humour, and set a new standard for poetry by young writers.
