Reviewer: ListeninginChicago - 7/24/2009 13:39Subject: Exquisite poetry for the young and young at heart I found this book after an internet search on "Hesperus". My mom (who is 75) mentioned that after being in the wind, her mom would often say she looked like the wreck of the Hesperus. Diving into the mystery of this odd saying, I came across the poem in this lovely book. (I can imagine my grandma memorizing poems when she was in grade school − and I think her life was richer for having lines of poetry buried in her mind to call out during her life.) This is an excellent collection that covers the gambit of classic children's poetry − from the simple (Twinkle Twinkle, The Owl and the Pussy−Cat), to the classic (The Raven), to the epic (How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix). A breadth of emotions are covered − there's plenty of lighthearted play, but balanced with some serious and challenging subjects. KayRay does an excellent job of bringing each of these poems to life. Some were quite familiar, for some, hearing the entire poem opened up a new understanding of the one or two familiar lines I knew, and some were entirely new gems. One of the best audio books I have listened to! |
