Product Description
This title offers a century of poetry, gathered from nearly one hundred and fifty different poets. From Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, and W.B. Yeats writing at the beginning of the century, to John Agard, Wendy Cope, and Seamus Heaney writing today, the poems cover a wide range of subjects, themes, and emotions. The poems have been selected from poets who either wrote for children, or who wrote poems that children have found enjoyable. Michael Harrison and Christopher Stuart-Clark have edited a number of books for Oxford University Press, including "The Oxford Treasury of Classic Poems", "The Oxford Book of Christmas Poems", and "The Oxford Treasury of Christmas Poems".
