I grew up with the original edition of this book, and so was deligted when I saw that it had been re-issued. However, I was dissapointed with the new version. As I see it, there are several problems. The first relates to Leonard Marcus' new introduction--which ironically seems perjorative in places towards Untermeyers' original efforts. Secondly, the editors have removed several poems in the interests of political correctness. Lastly, the slick paper coupled with the darker printing has compromised the Joan Augland art. I will give this to my daughter, and keep looking on ebay for the original.

A classic anthology of poetry - by one of America's renowned poets and anthologers - is back in print. Untermeyer's illuminating selections, ranging from Wordsworth to T. S. Eliot, and a new introduction by children's literature scholar Leonard S. Marcus, make this an invaluable guide to understanding the power and beauty of poetry. Includes ribbon marker.
