Format:Paperback
I have to disagree with the review which says that this book would be babyish for over-14 year olds. I'm over 40 and found it absolutely wonderful, reminding me of classic poems I'd forgotten since school days and introducing me to many more which I didn't know. The pictures are an inspiration and the format is a joy - glossy and luxurious. If you're a poetry buff then it's probably a bit basic and childish, but if, like me, you are looking for something to inspire you to read poetry for the first time since leaving school, this is the book for you. A really good range of classic poems: Robert Browning, Hopkins, Dylan Thomas, Wordsworth, Ted Hughes, Walter de la Mare, Auden, Shelley, etc. etc. For the average non-poetry reader, like me, this book is really exciting and will certainly lead me on to explore poetry further. I wish someone had given me this as a child, but as an adult I'm nevertheless delighted and inspired by this book.

If you want your child to love poetry, buy this book. I'd say it's aimed at 10-14 year olds - any older and the fact that it's illustrated (in colour) will make it look babyish - but the poems will give pleasure for life.
