A highly commercial anthology, selected and edited by Wendy Cope, and tying in with this year's National Poetry Day. Following the tremendous success of last year's By Heart, this collection looks set to do very well. Comic verse is, of course, the theme for this year's Day, and there are pieces by poets such as Lewis Carroll, W.S. Gilbert and Gavin Ewart included. National Poetry Day will, as usual, receive widespread media coverage, including features on Radio 4's Kaleidoscope and Poetry Please!, and on BBC1's Bookworm.
