Walter De la Mare Knihy

Though sometimes classified with Owen, Rosenberg and Sassoon as a 'war poet', he was rather a poet who died tragically in the war, and whose main subjects were the English countryside and its people, and the solitude of the observing self. The present edition offers the complete poems together with detailed editorial apparatus in what has become acknowledged as the standard edition by R. George Thomas. It also includes Thomas's remarkable prose War Diary of 1917

Complementing his Collected Poems, this volume gathers together all Walter de la Mare's poems for children. The book includes what, for the adult, are among his greatest pure lyrics. His descriptions of birds, beasts and natural phenomena are judged particularly sharp and accurate.

This collection of de la Mare's poetry, in print since its first publication in 1913, has fostered in generations of children a lifelong love of language. Full-color and black-and-white illustrations.
