William Butler Yeats was one of the finest modern poets in the English language. His work brings to life the drama, mysticism and haunting beauty of his native Ireland, and can be seen in this introductory collection of his most accessible and mesmerizing poems, including: The Sad Shepherd; The Stolen Child; Meditation of the Old Fisherman; The Lake Isle of Innisfree; To Some I Have Talked With By The Fire; The Hosting of the Sidhe; The Fish; The Song of the Wandering Aengus; The Valley of the Black Pig; The Fiddler of Dooney; At Galway Races; Running to Paradise; To a Child Dancing in the Wind; A Coat; Matching the splendour of Yeats's written images is a series of breathtaking paintings which range from Ireland's atmospheric landscape to vivid portraits of his wonderful characters - human, animal and mythic.

I LOVE THIS ONE!
5 Nov 2006
Format:Hardcover
I cannot think of a better way to introduce the poetry of William Butler Yeats than this small volume. The selection is excellent and of interest you the young reader. The commentary is quite relevant as are the pictures which accompany it. I find that often now, our young people go all the way through the early grades in school and many of them have never heard of Yeats,much less read his poetry. This was the sort of stuff my generation and the generation before it grew up on and cut our teeth on. I do not feel I am any worse for the wear. I am fearful that we are bringing up an entire generation (rightfully or wrong, although I feel it is the later) of young folks who will have no appreciation to this great art form and will miss a lot. This book helps. This entire series helps, as a matter of fact and I certainly recommend you add this one and the others to your library. Actually, it is rather fun reading these with the young folk and then talking about them. Not only do you get to enjoy the work your self and perhaps bring back some great memories, but you have the opportunity to interact with your child or student. It is actually rather surprising what some of the kids come up with. I read these to my grandchildren and to the kids in my classes at school. For the most part, when I really get to discussing the work with them, they enjoy it. Recommend this one highly.
