This is a rich and unusual collection of love poems.

There are poems about being in love - about the wonder and the longing, the misery of separation, the pain of rejection - and poems in praise of love. Poets in love across the centuries - from Petrarch, Charles d'Orleans and Wyatt to John Clare, Christina Rossetti and Thomas Hardy; from Sydney, Donne and Herrick to Robert Graves, Adrian Mitchell and Geoffrey Grigson himself. And songs by anonymous lovers, and love seen by the French - Ronsard, Baudelaire, Verlaine. [From jacket notes]

Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear, including creasing and slight lean to spine. Numerous text annotations. [A Harvard Paperback]. Roger Sale invites us to discover anew some of the great works of children's literature, works that have been read and loved but seldom given the benefit of serious literary assessment. It takes a critic of special gifts?receptiveness, discrimination, clarity of perception, independence of judgment?to discuss these books as illuminatingly as Sale does. This is not a survey but a very personal book: Sale writes about stories and books with which he feels an imaginative sympathy. As it happens, they include a great many of the classic children's texts, works as disparate as “Beauty and the Beast” and Alice, The Wind in the Willows and Babar, “The Snow Queen” and Peter Rabbit, the Jungle Book and the Oz books. He conveys a fresh sense of what… Read More
