H. Auden and T. S. Eliot. This volume presents a new selection of de la Mare's finest poems, including perennial favourites such as <i>Napoleon</i>, <i>Fare Well</i> and <i>The Listeners</i>, for a twenty-first-century audience. The poems are accompanied by commentaries by William Wootten, which build up a portrait of de la Mare's life, loves and friendships with the likes of Hardy, Rupert Brooke, Edward Thomas and Katherine Mansfield. They also point out the fascinating references to literature, folklore and the natural world that embroider the verse.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"De la Mare is one of the best of the best." -- <b>Robert Frost</b> <p/> "One of that most lovable order of artists who never lose sight of their childhood, but re-live it continually in their work and contrive to find expression for their maturity in it, memories and impressions, its romantic vision of the world." -- <b>J.B. Priestley</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Walter de la Mare</b> (1873-1956) was born in Charlton, Kent. <i>The Listeners</i> (1912) and the children's volume <i>Peacock Pie</i> (1913) established him as one of the foremost poets of his time.
