Foiled and in an exclusive colourway

Rhyme and Reason takes you from a medieval accountant (called Chaucer) trying to entertain his lord, past a doomed love affair in the Tower of London, through adoring sonnets and notebooks filled with dirty poems, through Byromania and the Victorian hearth, understanding why people simply enjoyed poetry. From the poems of housemaids to the rhymes of kings it's the history of Britain through the poems that people read, recited and loved.

Unruly by David Mitchell meets Super Infinite by Katherine Rundell in this quick, light-hearted and very funny tour through English poetry by bestselling author Mark Forsyth.
