Sea poems on a Monday Morning

The Mermaid and Other Sea PoemsThe Mermaid and Other Sea Poems by Sophie Windham

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A very nice collection of sea-themed poetry. Old favorites like Kipling's Seal Lullaby and Ogden Nash's the Eel (a childhood favorite) sit side by side with ones less familiar - My Other Granny by Ted Hughes, and Grim and Gloomy by James Reeves. The art by Sophie Windham (who compiled this collection) has a charming, somewhat British-y (as she is), storybook appeal.
