This book review post is today about the A4 sized hard cover "Hilda Bowell's Treasury of Poetry." This green book version was published by Collins in 1983. Its full of spellbinding illustrations on every single page. The book can be fun to read for kids and also for adults too. It's very nature inclined with animals, seasons and folklore. It has epic poems such as "I went to sea in a sieve" by Edward Lear and "The Butterfly's Ball" by William Roscoe. It has fairy tale poems including "The Mermaid" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. A few well known authors William Blake and Lewis Carroll have featured poems. There are sad poems like "Babes in the Wood".
Some of my favourites are:
"The Spider and the Fly"
"A fairy went a-marketing"
"The Garden Year"
Storm Valkyrie
