It works well alongside Good King Wenceslas in a reading group, and I usually find that although King John is ‘not a good man', people feel affection for him and connect to something in this poem, perhaps his resilient hopefulness or the real anxiety which ‘bedews his brow', or more likely the authentic lurching between these two states. I remember wanting a ‘big, red india-rubber ball' myself after reading this, and feeling quite sorry for King John hanging his ‘hopeful stocking' out. Whatever I do, he wants to do, 'Where are you going today' says Pooh: More. I love the rhythm of the poem, which seems to gather pace as you read it.

It's a bit of fun that takes me back my childhood, when my mother read this to me.
