Beschrijving boek

Aanvulling conditie: vorm en binding boek goed.

Chosen and edited by Iona and Peter Opie.

The 59 poems in this collection come together to form a story-book in verse. Here may be found many of the great characters in English literature, including the Lady of Shalott, King Arthur, the Pied Piper, and the Ancient Mariner.

There are tales of romance and of humour, of ghosts and of gore, told by poets ranging from Chaucer to Wilde, from Milton to Auden, covering a period of over 600 years.

With most of the poems presented in their entirety, this is an anthology to bewitch and captivate the reader.
