THE CAMBRIDGE BOOK OF POETRY FOR CHILDREN
Selected and edited byKenneth Grahame
Decorations byMaud Fuller
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons; Cambridge, England: University Press. Early twentieth century.
Kenneth Grahame (1859–1932), best remembered as the author ofThe Wind in the Willows(1908), also wrote the beloved childhood classicsThe Golden AgeandDream Days. His sensitivity to the imaginative world of children is evident in this carefully chosen anthology, which moves from nursery rhymes and familiar songs to fairyland, nature, Christmas, adventure, and story-poems.
The collection includes selections by Shakespeare, William Blake, Robert Louis Stevenson, Walter de la Mare, Robert Browning, and other poets. Grahame's own preface, dated October 1915, explains his intention to introduce children to the pleasures of lyric poetry.
Maud Fuller's distinctive decorations give the volume additional appeal as an example of early twentieth-century illustrated book design.
An unusually bright, crisp copy, equally appealing to collectors of children's literature, Kenneth Grahame, and decorative pictorial bindings.
