'Are all he dragons dead? Are all the witches fled? Am I quite safe in bed?' The fear of the dark, and its working upon the mind of the young, provides ample material for a varied collection of poems about things that frighten at night. The devil, the werewolf, the bogeyman, all emotive titles, and all find their place, 'as I shake beneath my covers, and I shiver in my sheet.' Some old faithfuls naturally, but diligent searching has unearthed some original material which will provide fresh interpretations on the 'bumps in the night'.
