THE GOLDEN TREASURY OF POETRY An illustrated collection of over 350 English and American poems, about animals, people, famous events, the seasons, and Christmas, and including nonsense verse, inspirational lines, and wisdom in rhyme. An ambitious volume, one fully realized in its text and illustration. Everything from “Lochinvar” and “The Highwayman” to Edward Lear’s Limericks and some very funny gravestone epigrams, this book is a great read for all ages. Mrs. Anglund’s illustrations cover an impressive range and show her incredible talent for more than her drawings of little children. |
