  CHILDS PLAY 

  PLATO AND CHILDS PLAY

Over 2,000 years ago Plato made the observation

 that any Society where children no longer played the games that their parents had played

 would be in danger of disintegrating.

Those street games, with all their vigour and creativity instilled values and developed social skills

 which sometimes seem to be lacking today. 

At THE GYPSYPOET you can read about and find out all that there is to know about the world of Childs Play and more.

The greatest illustrator of Children at play was undoubebly EILEEN SOPER
