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
