Come Hither is a monumental anthology of rhymes and poems for the young of all ages, curated by the esteemed poet Walter de la Mare. Recognized as one of the finest collections of English verse, this work transcends the boundaries of traditional children's literature, offering a rich tapestry of lyrical beauty, mystery, and wonder. The collection is framed by a unique prose introduction that follows the journey of a young boy discovering a hidden cache of poems in a remote house, setting a tone of enchantment that persists throughout the volume.
Spanning centuries of literary history, the anthology includes works from both legendary masters and anonymous balladeers. De la Mare's selection process prioritizes the music and magic of the written word, blending folklore, nature poetry, and imaginative storytelling. This volume serves as both an introduction to the vast world of English poetry and a deep well of inspiration for seasoned readers. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke the timeless spirit of childhood curiosity while maintaining a sophisticated literary standard. Come Hither remains an essential cornerstone for any library, celebrating the evocative power of rhyme and the boundless landscapes of the human imagination.
