This is a stupendously well-chosen, feelgood anthology in which even feel-bad poems feel good. This little book is a must-have, with poems that will make you feel more alive.Kate Kellaway, The Observer - The New Review

This collection is aimed at younger readers but people of all ages will appreciate the beauty of poems like Shelley’s “The Indian Serenade”, Byron’s “She Walks in Beauty” and “La Belle Dame Sans Merci” by KeatsIndependent
