The Collins Book of Best-Loved Verse brings together in one volume all those poems that run in the bloodstream - learnt at school, half-remembered, evocative for a lifetime; from 'Jabberwocky' to 'Jerusalem'; from 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' to 'Joan Hunter Dunn'; from Wilfred Owen to Edward Lear. Both the familiar and the newly memorable, the traditional and the soon-to-be traditional, are represented in this collection. It will be a rich source of nostalgia and discovery, an indispensable companion for winter evenings and summer afternoons.
