As someone who doesn't usually read poetry, I must say I really adored this!

Not every poem or song was up my alley, but the ones I liked - I fell in love with them. The Bluebeard tale has such an amazing twist, The Sea-King poem at the very end was probably my favorite because it is quirky and romantic and true and so full of pretty images.
I also met the Flabberghast again - one of the coolest characters in Cooney's collection Bone Swans (go check that one out, it blew my mind).

So yeah, this is a little book filled with poems and songs, all dedicated to Cooney's friends. I'm not surprised to find many familiar names among them - they all happen to be authors I equally love.
