Description
Carol Ann Duffy's Christmas Eve at The Moon Under Water is a festive poem adorned with sumptuous illustrations by Margaux Carpentier. On this enchanting Christmas Eve, anything is possible in a magical setting where the natural world comes together. The fire crackles and the lights are on, as an owl slowly pulls a pint to test his ale. A horse walks into a bar, a hedgehog plays the piano, and an owl mulls a flagon of wine. The landlord announces a festive prize for the best performance of the night, and all gather to take part. In this special poem, old rivalries are set aside as man stands shoulder to shoulder with animal, and predator and prey add their voices to the Yuletide chorus. A unique and captivating festive gift for poetry lovers.
