The Bramble King is full of darkly resonant tales, ingenious parables,
curiously haunted rooms and palaces and beautifully observed images of
the natural world. A prolific, popular and prize-winning author of
fantasy fiction for children, Fisher began her writing career as a poet
and now returns to poetry with her first collection since 1999.
This collection includes poems on imaginary planets and princes, on the
summer solstice, on drawing, on a glass shop and a clockwork crow: rich
tales with imaginative twists and unexpected characters.
This is a beautifully thoughtful and wonderfully entertaining collection
of verse. Both her fiction fans and poetry readers will find much to
enjoy in The Bramble King.
