Reviews and Comments

"I am enormously impressed by Richard Edwards - he has a wonderful, precise witty style with a rare power of combining clarity, warmth and the zany. I feel a real sense of a classical light verse writer in the best tradition of Austin Dobson, Rober Louis Stevenson, Walter de la Mare and Robert Graves, to name but four of the many masters of the craft from whom he seems to have learnt. The new collection is well up to the first and I strongly recommend it. Poems like Happy Master, The Marvellous Trousers and Lily are really outstanding."
George MacBeth
