Walter de la Mare (April 1873 - June 1956) was an English poet, short story writer and novelist. He is best known for his children’s works and The Listeners. His love of imagination made his children’s books very popular, but this also may have contributed to his other writings being taken less seriously. Peacock Pie was written in 1913. This extensive collection of de La Mare’s poetry is a delight for children. The rhymes are fun and easy for children to learn. Sections include Up and Down, Boys and Girls, Three Queer tales, Songs, Beasts, Witches and Fairies and others.
