Friday S Child Rhyme

Friday's Child

Friday's Child

Brian Mountford has chosen thirty five poems which explore the human experience of suffering and redemption, accompanied by his own thoughtful and witty commentary. The collection contains secular and sacred pieces in equal measure and came into being as part of a programme to bring a sense of seriousness, in a non prescriptive, open-ended way to the Easter holiday crowds in the University Church, Oxford, where the poems were read on Good Friday with dignity and panache by senior school children. The selection has not been augmented in any kind of attempt to provide a fully representative anthology, but kept exactly as it evolved in response to this specific need.

Friday's Child

What if you stumbled across a portal to another world? Would you risk entering? This is the dilemma Friday, our young heroine, faces in a quirky and enchanting faery tale. Friday is an extraordinary child, and nothing is quite as it seems in the magical world she shares with a delightfully eccentric cast of memorable characters. Courage, compassion, creativity, resourcefulness, acceptance of gifts, and differences are some of the lessons learned, with deeper meaningful threads of eco awareness and spirituality woven into the fabric of this compelling, unique, and richly author-illustrated story.
