Henry Pond the Poet

by Dick King-Smith

Published 1 January 1976

Henry Pond is a toad. He's also a poet. His poems are famous, and he has many proud fans. Sadly, Victoria Garden-Pool isn't one of them. She prefers Larry Lake - a toad of action, not words.



But Henry's determined to win over this warty beauty. Can his brains beat Larry's brawn?

Now the rats are out for revenge...High quality cream paper and a special easy-to-read font ensure a smooth read for all.
