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.
