An anthology of poetry about childhood, with royalties going to the Foundling Museum in London. The Museum, established by Thomas Coram in 1739 with the support of Hogarth and Handel, was both the first orphanage in Britain and the first public art gallery, with an ongoing commitment to the arts and education today. The book is divided into three sections: orphans and foundlings, infancy, and early childhood. Contributors include Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, Seamus Heaney. Foreword by Daisy Goodwin.
