A review by fairislemeadow
A Children's Book of Verse by James Kirkup, Spike Milligan, Alfred Noyes, Eric Kincaid

5.0

My aunt used to own a copy of this book, and one of my favorite memories is flipping through the pages at her house. The illustrations are magical and shaped my dreams and fantasies as a child, and the poetry is some of the best children's poetry ever written. The first poems I ever memorized were in this book, including "The Sugar-Plum Tree" and "The Duel," both by Eugene Field.
