Summary: excellent anthology
Review: Editor Gillian Avery says in the introduction that this is a book of poems that "the owner will not outgrow." Thus these are poems that hold as much value for adults as for the young. (Some other book has in its title "for the young of all ages;" I like that concept!) This is a wonderful mix of verse both serious and fun, divided into sections: Rhymes and Nonsense, The Year and its Seasons, Journeys and Places, Spells Magic and Mystery, Strange Tales, Music and Dancing, Battles Soldiers and Patroits, Birds and Beasts, Childhood and Youth, Some People, Love and Lovers' Tales, Last Things. A fine volume.
