A selection of the poems and songs Federico Garcia Lorca wrote especially for children, presented together with the Spanish texts.

"Poetry about cool insects with accompanying facts"--

The author sees cricket as an instance of the whole exceeding the sum of the parts and his poems seek to exploit the area of difference. They are essentially for cricketers, drawing on a knowledge of the game, its devotees, participants, and ethos. Many of the poems were written for team evenings and are presented for your reading due to the insistence of his erstwhile team-mates. Arthur very much hopes that you will enjoy some, if not all, of them.
