Madelaine Jennings, child poet
Feb. 02, 1959 - Madelaine The Child Poet said I am about to die Ten year old Madelaine Jennings of Valley Road, Nottingham had been earning herself a name as a poet, a child genius. Some of her poems were very good in fact one of them had been broadcast by the B.B.C. Suddenly her writings became sad and she began talking about her own death. On Wednesday she walked into her mother bedroom and said Mummy, I can't get my breath, I think I am going to die. An hour later she was dead. The coroner found that she died from an acute and rather rare throat infection. But no one could explain her premonition. Keystone Photo Shows: Madelaine Jennings the child poet
