Reviews

[David Arnold · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found it average. I mean, there's nothing really wrong with any of the poems but none of them really stand out. It's sort of like reading a diary (in rhyme) but all the juicy parts are redacted. Poems I liked more than the rest: "A Wish" (pg. 31), "On a Musical Box" (pg. 43), "A Promise" (pg. 57), "To ---" (pg. 80), "'Tis An Old Tale And Often Told" (pg. 112), "Written After Spending a Day At West Point" (pg. 118), and "Absence" (pg.129).

I loved this edition of poems by Fanny Kemble, also known as Frances Ann Butler. Here's the link for a free copy: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/24216 read
It's a very handy link if you're doing the woman's challenge for the Classics thread. Gutenberg.org has many more free reads, although they won't upload on a Kindle for some reason, which makes it a little harder to read them.
