Reader's note

This fantastic book will look wonderful on your vintage bookshelf! Full of amazing poetry, this revised and enlarged edition of this collection adds even more poems for you to pour over! This following stanzas are taken from 'April Rise' by Laurie Lee - If ever I saw blessing in the air, I see it now in this still early day, Where lemon-green the vaporous morning drips, Wet sunlight on the powder of my eye. Blown bubble-film of blue, the sky wraps round, Weeds of warm light whose every root and rod, Splutters with soapy green, and all the world, Sweats with the bead of summer in its bud. - such magnificent and descriptive words! With a brightly coloured yellow dust jacket, this old Penguin book is a brilliant literary gift.
