A collection of classic poems that provide an accessible introduction to the poetry of Christina Rossetti. Printed in a high quality, cloth edition each volume in the Crane Classics makes an attractive gift.
I really love these little Crown Classics editions, I have a few volumes - so pretty and high-quality. The poetry itself I enjoyed too. It's a bit dense, as classic poetry often is (compared to contemporary), but in that effort required to read it lies its charm too. Meditative and pleasant
'Here's my half of the faded leaves We plucked from budding bough; With feet amongst the lily leaves, The lilies are budding now.’
