Published by her children after her death, this second volume of Hannah Battersby’s verse gathers poems written for family and occasions. There are elegies for a beloved son, a rhyme for a five-year-old, the skating rink and the ice palace, Mrs. Langtry on the stage, a Shaker girl, and a tribute to Captain Nares and his Arctic crews.
