Forty-seven poems about the things children know and fear: lullabies and nonsense, witches and fairies, dreams, the moon, and the strange half-light between waking and sleep. This is the 1902 collection de la Mare published under the name Walter Ramal, here in a facsimile edition with a preface by the poet Anthony Hecht.
Where de la Mare’s enchanted, slightly eerie voice first appeared; lovely to read aloud with children or alone. Download the free EPUB.
