Jennifer Northway
A beautiful combination of Caribbean colour in words and pictures about a small Guyanese boy and his fascination for holes: keyholes, crabholes, tunnels and hidey holes to name but a few. John Agard's writing, especially his poetry in dialect, is now well-known and much appreciated by young listeners. It's good to see one of his earlier books finally available in paperback.
