Additional Material
My work has frequently been chosen for Children’s Books of the Year exhibitions and publications, and has been mentioned in various other publications. I have poems in a number of anthologies.

Oh, my goodness – you wrote “Riding to Canonbie!” I found that beautiful book at a yard sale in the late 70s, and completely fell in love with it. I’m a composer, and immediately wrote music to “Jeremy Jimpson,” which I taught to the children with whom I babysat – and they still remember it today. Somewhere along the way I lost the book, and am thrilled to find it available online! THANK YOU for “Riding to Canonbie.” It is transcendently lovely and unforgettable.

What a wonderful communication to receive this cold morning, and so touching to know that the book I wrote so long ago, in the wilds of the Cumbrian countryside, could give pleasure and inspire you to write music to one of the poems. Thank you for writing, it means a lot to me. My son once said to me: “What you do for work is good in that it doesn’t harm anyone and it gives pleasure to people,” and I have always treasured that comment.
