Favorite Poems Old and New by Helen Ferris
An extensive anthology of poetry selected to please the varied moods and interests of boys and girls.
"Favorite Poems Old and New is a book of family poemsThose of us of an older generation will remember reading many of them around a fire on a winter's evening or perhaps in summertime resting under a tree and having someone read them aloud to us. I hope that young people will keep this book available for frequent 'dipping.' Children are poets before they grow up and they should live with poems. I hope this book will encourage them to do so."—Eleanor Roosevelt
