About this title: Complementing his "Collected Poems", this volume gathers together all Walter de la Mare's poems for children. The book includes what, for the adult, are among his greatest "pure" lyrics. His descriptions of birds, beasts and natural phenomena are judged particularly sharp and accurate.
