  Once again, such familiar classics as Andrew Marvell's 'To His Coy Mistress', John Keats's 'To Autumn', T.S. Eliot's 'Journey of the Magi' and Robert Frost's 'Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening' take turns with an eclectic selection of lighter or less famous verses - Joyce Grenfell on the ages of woman, John Betjeman demolishing bad taste, Jon Silkin on the death of his son, and Ruth Pitter laughing at a potato. Ballads, laments, odes, satires, songs or prayers: these are poems for every mood and taste, illustrated with specially commissioned watercolours by a talented young artist.
