Bringing the spirit and beauty of Yeats’s writing to a whole new young audience! This sumptuously illustrated book complements the carefully selected works of W.B. Yeats, which include poems, stories, a letter from childhood, and an account of his daughter Anne’s memories of childhood. Including unpublished work, this gorgeous book draws on Yeats's preoccupation with magic, fairy lore, place, family and childhood. A mystical and magical tone that pervades the collection will enthral younger readers.

Pickpick

What an enchanting introduction to Yeats! The curious child will find a selection of his fantasy and nature poetry, a couple of his folklore stories, anecdotes from Willie's childhood, the text of a letter he wrote age 11 to his sister, and reminiscences of his daughter Anne about what it was like to grow up with a genius for a da, all wonderfully illustrated.

A better approach to the topic than 'Poetry for Young People: William Butler Yeats'.

Couldn't resist having these beauties come home with me! Bought in Sligo, Ireland, near where Yeats is buried.
