Title: What a great surprise!
Review: This book was my mother's favorite (1936 edition) and it saved me many trips to the library when I was a child and had homework that involved poetry! I grew to love the book too. During one of the moves my parents made after I left home, the book got lost. Both my mother and I have longed to find it. I found a 1936 edition a few months ago (a different seller's only copy) and while it said delivered, I never got it. I was heart broken. On my mother's birthday I told her that I almost had the book, we were both sad. When I hung up, I started looking again and found another 1936 edition and quickly ordered it to be shipped to my mother as a birthday/Christmas gift (again a different seller). I wanted her to have the 1936 edition. I told her the book was coming to her and she was delighted! I then found this seller that had a 1939 edition (with green cover, 1936 was black cover with gold image imprinted on front) and while it wasn't the same edition, it was still the same book content and I would be glad to have it. I ordered it to be sent FedEx to make sure I got it. It came on time and in great condition. I was very pleasantly surprised to find it was a 1936 edition!! I did a happy, happy dance! It is in very good shape. I love used books. I find them fascinating. This has one note written in it. An inscription "To: Francis love Mom 1954" "Christmas 1954"! How wonderful! I got my replacement copy and also one for my Mom for Christmas 2023! How perfect is that?! I found only one page "dog eared" and a check mark next to a title on that page. It was a beautiful poem. I left it dog eared. So far I have found one other poem with a check mark and it was another beautiful poem. I also like to "let the book fall open" to find sections that were frequently read, I feel like it gives some insight about the previous owner(s) and introduces me to things I might not have read yet. This is a wonderful collection of poetry! A true classic. It should be a part of every home library. I highly recommend it! It will give many, many hours of enjoyment for decades, it is timeless!
