W. B. Yeats W.B. Yeats Selected Poetry

Little treasures, the FLAME TREE COLLECTABLE CLASSICS are chosen to create a delightful and timeless home library. Each stunning, gift edition features deluxe cover treatments, ribbon markers, luxury endpapers and gilded edges. The original text is accompanied by a Glossary of Victorian and Literary terms produced for the modern reader. The poetry of W.B. Yeats is among the most-loved literature of the twentieth century. At times dream-like, at others political, his verse has a rich sense of identity, infused with myth, mysticism and lyrical skill. This gift edition of selected poetry gathers some of the finest works by the Irish poet, including ‘The Lake Isle of Innisfree’, ‘The Stolen Child’, ‘When You Are Old’, ‘The Song of the Happy Shepherd’, 'Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven', ‘Easter, 1916’, 'The Second Coming' and 'A Prayer for my Daughter'. In place of the glossary are included selected notes by Yeats himself, and indexes of titles and first lines.
