About this copy
A treasury of the poems that stay with us for a lifetime: from 'Jabberwocky' to 'Jerusalem', from 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' to 'Joan Hunter Dunn', and from Wilfred Owen to Edward Lear. Chosen by poet and musicologist Charles Osborne, this is the sort of anthology you will return to again and again, an indispensable companion for winter evenings and summer afternoons. A handsome hardback, complete with its original dust jacket, and beautifully illustrated with Reynolds Stone's wood engravings, including the charming reading figure beneath the tree on the title page.
