A Happy Poem to End Every Day cover

‘I can't think of a single person who wouldn't enjoy having this beautiful collection of poetry to dip into when they need a boost' – Good Housekeeping
‘This is supreme bedtime reading.’ – The Lady
‘Go to sleep with the lightest of hearts, with verses from Thomas Hardy, Emily Brontë, Simon Armitage, Wendy Cope and more’ – Townswoman
These days we're all in need of a little nugget of happiness to help soothe our weary souls at the end of the day. A Happy Poem to End Every Day provides just that: one sublimely happy poem for every day of the year, from cosy fireside idylls in winter to outdoor adventures in summer, encounters with the beauty of nature in spring and moments of quiet reflection in autumn. It features some of the greatest poets ever to put pen to paper, from William Wordsworth on the joy of skating and Emily Brontë enjoying life on the moors to Simon Armitage catching a cricket ball and Wendy Cope sharing an orange, with a good smattering of classic jolly verse such as Edward Lear's The Owl and the Pussycat.
Beautifully illustrated with contemplative scenes of pure happiness, this wonderful book is the perfect way to give yourself a little lift every evening. Keep it by your bedside and it's sure to bring restful sleep and sweet dreams.

‘Pop this book on your bedside table and create a lovely night time routine’ Psychologies ‘I can't think of a single person who wouldn't enjoy having this beautiful collection of poetry to dip into when they need a boost’ Good Housekeeping ‘A real joy’ Miranda Mills YouTube 'This wonderful compendium of poems, one for every day of the hear, has been curated to being a little light into the world. … It really is one of those rare gifts that keeps on giving.’ WI Life ‘Go to sleep with the lightest of hearts, with verses from Thomas Hardy, Emily Brontë, Simon Armitage, Wendy Cope and more’ Townswoman ‘Beautifully produced and illustrated. The selection of poems is excellent. They are upbeat but not trite, and each one has a fresh and often unexpected take on wildly different experiences of joy … This is supreme bedtime reading.’ The Lady
