My Mum’s school anthology of verse
Rating: ***** *****
What led you to pick up this book?
This is one of two anthologies that Mum had at school in the early 1920s and from which I learned many of the poems which I learned in my youth.
What did you like most about the book?
It brought back memories of the pride I took in learning and reciting verses – often learning a poem a day during the school summer holidays. Unlike many of the things one ‘had to do’ as a child I loved learning poems.
Would I recommend it?
It probably cannot now be found except in a fairly tatty state on some second-hand bookseller’s shelves but I think it has many of the world’s best poems in its 300 pages.
some of the best book are attached to youthfull memories!
