It suggests the importance of respecting property and the consequences of just 'trying out' things that do not belong to you. As such, it will spark important interrogations from children: was Goldilocks right to come into the house? Were the bears really scary, or just helpless victims?

Strictly speaking The Lake Poets were not a movement or school of poetry. They were only so named as such by The Edinburgh Review so that they could be disparaged. It was a spectacular backfire! The three main figures would be rightly seen as among the most monumental figures in English poetry - William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and the underrated but immense Robert Southey, himself a 30-year poet laureate.

Poetry is often cited as our greatest use of words. The English language has well over a million of them and poets down the ages seem, at times, to make use of every single one. But often they use them in simple ways to describe anything and everything from landscapes to all aspects of the human condition. Poems can evoke within us an individual response that takes us by surprise, that opens our ears and eyes to very personal feelings.

Il y avait une fois trois ours qui vivaient ensemble dans une petite maison au milieu d'un bois. L'un d'entre eux était un tout tout petit ours, le second était un ours de taille moyenne et le troisième était un gros gros ours." Un jour qu'une famille d'ours est partie se promener, Boucle d'Or entre dans leur maison. Elle a froid, elle a faim et elle est fatiguée. Et ni une ni deux, elle fait comme si elle était chez elle. Robert Southey (1774-1843) était un écrivain, poète, traducteur et biographe romantique anglais.

Goldilocks is a princess so beautiful that a King falls in love with her at the mere sight of her picture; he then sends a prince to bring her back to him, so as to marry her. But the Prince, who goes by the name of Charming, will be the one winning the heart of the damsel despite himself.

Robert Southey was born on the 12th of August 1774 in Bristol. A poet of the Romantic school and one of the 'Lake Poets'. Although his fame has been eclipsed by that of his friends William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Southey's verse was highly influential and he wrote movingly against the horrors and injustice of the slave trade. Among his other classics are Inchcape Rock as well as a number of plays including Wat Tyler.

In this carefully selected audiobook of verse with works by Keats, Kipling, Southey, Yeats and others, such Hollyood legends as Helen Hayes and Raymond Massey provide unique readings and interpretations of these classics.
