Blurb:

The mastermind behind the Irish literary Renaissance, William Butler Yeats had a remarkable literary career spanning across five decades.

This collectable edition brings together his early poems along with some of his finest verses composed in the years following his Nobel Prize. It includes The Wanderings of Oisin, ‘The Sad Shepherd’, ‘The Stolen Child’, ‘The Lake of Innisfree’, ‘The Sorrow of Love’, ‘When You Are Old’, ‘An Irish Airman foresees his Death’, ‘The Second Coming’, ‘Sailing to Byzantium’, ‘Leda and the Swan’ and ‘Byzantium’.

Each poem gives an insight into Yeats’ beliefs, philosophy and also the times in which he wrote. Each is a specimen of his exquisite craftsmanship.

Review:

"Such a beautiful collection

""When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read…""

The above quote is at the back of the book, however, though I am young, I could not stop myself from reading this amazing collection.

W.B. Yeats, I am now a member of your fanbase. What amazing work. I just loved every word of your poems.

The beauty of the words from this talented poet is that, his words are a combination. Though you are reading a poem, you will feel that it is a story that is being played in front of your eyes. I am mesmerized.

Plus, the hardback makes it so easy to preserve and cherish for life.

If you like to read classics and poems, than this book is for you."

Hope you enjoy reading it.

Lots of Love
