Summer with Monika is a love poem, charting the progress of a romance from the delicious intimacy of the honeymoon through to the stage of quarrels, jealousy, recriminations and boredom, to the point where love is as nice as a cup of tea in bed.

Re-issued for its 50th anniversary, Summer with Monika is a hidden gem of British love poetry featuring beautiful illustrations from Children's Laureate Chris Riddell.

McGough has done for poetry what champagne does for weddings
