I got this for Christmas from one of my older sons. It was a treat to sit and read it on Christmas day.
The author is one of my favorites. He is known for his biographies of great literary people. (He also has a very interesting personal conversion story, and can be viewed on YouTube telling some of his story at a G. K. Chesterton conference in Rochester NY in 2007.)
The book is also illustrated nicely, and is a wonderful pocket size.
If you like poetry, you might enjoy this little gem.
