Product Description
Review
He has become a social necessity . I have only one criterion for judging authors: how many are there without whom I could not possibly have lived until now? Ogden Nash is one of them.--Christopher Morley "Saturday Review Of Literature "
Product Description
It's been more than thirty years since the appearance of a collection from America's laureate of light verse. Ogden Nash first gathered together an anthology of thirty years of his published works in 1959. In 1973 his daughters gathered more than four hundred of his poems and called it "I Wouldn't Have Missed It", a quote from one of his verses. Now more poems have come to light, so his daughters have once again produced "The Best of Ogden Nash", the definitive Nash anthology. The poems display the talent of the man whose verse entranced America from the time of the Great Depression until his death in 1971. "The Best of Ogden Nash" should delight old fans and introduce new readers to a unique talent.

A definitive Nash anthology
5 Jan 2008
Format:Hardcover
Over five hundred verses gathered from a wide collection of Nash's poems results in this, a definitive Nash anthology suitable not just for college-level poetry libraries, but for general-interest lending collections. While published works comprise the bulk of this anthology, some are lesser-known works which came to light in the Nash collection at the University of Texas at Austin, and from family letters and papers, making for an outstanding, rare collection of works essential for any definitive poetry library.

HUMOR, STYLE, SAGACITY
25 Jun 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The writings of Ogden Nash have a unique rhythm and tempo. The humor, and style, coupled with subtle sagacity makes for a wonderful read, both aloud and to oneself. This should be required reading at all levels of education, so that students can see and hear what can really be done with words.

Fun Poetry
16 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had encountered Nash's poetry some years back and had an LP of The Carnival of the Animals poem read by Noel Coward with his special enunciation of all the words. Since then, I have been searching for a printed copy and this book does it for me. Nash's menagerie of animals is fun.
