He published six collections of poetry for adults, and more than 90 books for children including poetry, fiction, plays, picture books, and anthologies. One of his most well known works is the poem "Windows". Poems for children featured in the Cbeebies series Poetry Pie. Magee performed poetry shows in schools around the UK, as well as Germany, the Isle of Man and Guernsey. He was also a visiting professor at Rollins College, Florida, and Kuwait. There's a great deal of variety in Wes's work - you never know if you're going to be hearing a story from the school gates or having your bones chilled by a bloodcurdling rhyme full of spooky sounds and ghostly figures. Wes was a wonderful storyteller, with lots of his poems using rhyme and a songlike rhythm to tell their tales about all sorts of people, from little boys and girls to chimney sweeps and teachers - real and imaginary. Wes was often playful but he could be serious too, and in a poem like 'Until Gran Died' he tells a sad story about what it feels like to lose someone you love, and how it's normal to be upset about it. Wes was a natural performer. Whether he was making ghostly raps rattle off his tongue to great effect, or slowing down to tell a more day-to-day story, he could throw in an accent or even get his fingers clicking to bring the listener along. You might even find yourself having to join in! Ref W 6.
