POETRY PLEASE!: More Poetry Please: 9 (EVERYMAN POETRY)

I love this book, I have owned a copy for many years, I read aloud to my kids at bed time. It is a wonderful short anthologhy, quite a broad range of poems without being swamped in volume. The selection is well thought out and although the order is alphabetical (by poets name) there is still a great flow from one poem to the next - there are whole sections that we love to read out loud, Robert Louis-Stevenson 'the vagabond' followed by Muriel Stuart's 'the seed shop, then Tennyson 'the brook', Tessimond 'black Monday lovesong', Dylan Thomas 'fern hill', and finally Adelstrop by Edward Thomas is a real favorite. Of course the book ends on WB yeats 'The lake isle of Innisfree', other favorites include John Mansfield's 'sea fever', AE Housman's 'loveliest of trees the cherry now, Hilaire Belloc's 'Tarantella' and Henry Charles Beeching's 'going down a hill on a bicycle'. There are many more, just waiting between the pages to be discovered. Despite being slim and inexpensive there is a huge amount of treasure in here.Beware the title and picture on the listing are misleading - this is the original poetry please book and not a follow up, It has a pink cover with a picture of carnations on it and no illustrations.

Great book great condition good selection of poetry .Prompt delivery thankyou.

DISLIKED!!! Not the original copy as implied on the illustration,which I have had and much loved over the years. This was to be a gift for friend.Amazon please give accurate pictures!!

The poem selection was rather depressing although good poetry. The compiler could have thought this through better.

I in fact have a copy of this book which is excellent and has illustrations as the cover implies.However the ISBN number has been transferred to an inferior version (shown red) with wafer thin pages and no illustrations.Stars go to the supplier who refunded me.I hope this correction has been made online.
