A Little Treasury of Favorite Poems (1978)

A Little Treasury of Favorite Poems
Selected from English and American Authors
Publisher:  Avenel Books
Copyright:  1978
Highly Decorative Edition

A splendid collection of poems by English and American authors, this volume brings the rich variety and the creative power of the poetic imagination to every reader.  Unique about this edition are the decorations on each page, sixteen different delicate designs that alternate throughout the entire book.

Poetry lovers will find here works that will inspire them, influence them, and move them to laughter, tears, or quiet thoughtfulness.  Without question, poetry is one of man's most personal forms of communication:  it creates timeless images of man's deepest thoughts and emotions.  There are works by Milton and Woodsworth that will excite the intellect; there are poems of the great Romantics Byron and Shelley that will deeply move the heart.  Shakespeare, represented by both his poetry and excerpts from his plays, shines here with the drama and insight that are his alone.  Some of the poems are old friends -- Poe's THE RAVEN, Tennyson's BREAK, BREAK, BREAK, and Longfellow's THE WRECK OF THE HESPERUS.

These and other familiar poems have stood the test of time and bring new pleasure with each reading.  Here, too, are unfamiliar works, selections by little-known poets or neglected pieces of the masters, providing the reader with the joy of discovery, the introduction to a new friend with whom communication is instant and lasting.

Condition:  Used.  Hardcover.  Dust cover is lightly discolored.  Pages may be tanning from age.  Previous owner's "Library Of" stamp is on the front endpaper.
