Table of ContentsReviewsFrom two experienced British anthologists, a well-intended but unimpressive collection of verse: 200-odd poems in large format, without formal arrangement. Beginning with nursery rhymes and word-games, the book cuts from one subject to the next - everyday life, animals, etc. - with the reader left to infer the plan. British poets predominate; Rachel Field, Robert Frost, Gwendolynn Brooks, and Laura E. Richards are among missing Americans. The illustrations (uncredited except under acknowledgements ) are often crowded and rarely distinguished. No author or subject index. A disappointing follow-up to Edward Blishen's splendid Oxford Book of Poetry for Children (1963), with which this should not be confused. (Kirkus Reviews) Author InformationMichael Harrison and Christopher Stuart-Clark have had a long and successful partnership as poetry compilers. Among their anthologies published by Oxford are The Oxford Book of Christmas Poems and Noah's Ark. Michael Harrison is Head of English in an Oxford school. Christopher Stuart-Clark is principal of a school in Hong Kong. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
