Summary

The English Poet Laureate from 1913 to 1930, Robert Bridges produced verse noted for its restraint, purity, precision and delicacy, yet strength of expression. It represents a distinct theory of prosody and his devout faith underpinned much of his work. Although he published several long poems and poetic dramas, his reputation rests upon the lyrics collected in ‘Shorter Poems’, while ‘New Verse’ features experiments using a metre based on syllables rather than accents. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Bridges’ complete poetical works (except for one poem), with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    We came into the world like brother and brother; And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another. - Dromio of Ephesus 
The Comedy of Errors is likely the very first play Shakespeare ever wrote, and for that reason alone it deserves a special place in literary history. Yet, despite the author's lack of maturity, the play is unmistakably the work of a burgeoning master. A farce of a type that was wildly popular in Shakespeare's day, The Comedy of Errors transcends its genre, and is as accessible and as entertaining as any of the Bard's later comedies. Revolving around the naturally comedic themes of identical twins and mistaken identity, The Comedy of Errors is a delightful milestone in the remarkable career of the greatest dramatist of all time.

    When Rob Walton went into lockdown, he didn't know that he would also go into mourning. Here he writes about the life and death of his dad, and how sadness seeped into various aspects of his life.
He also manages to find cheap laughs, digs at the government, celebrations of the young and old, unashamed sentimentality and suddenly disarming moments of tenderness.
Walton's lines are expressed neatly and sparely, yet hold such purity and poignancy beneath them that they stop you in your tracks. Jane Burns
Walton is a master of musical, looping refrains as he gets closer and closer to the troubled heart of things, during this troubled year of Covid 19 and the death of a much loved father. Deborah Alma (The Emergency Poet)

    Alexander Woollcott called Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, "the man who wrote the most enchanting nonsense in the English language." Besides his many stories, Lewis Carroll wrote nonsensical poems. Eleven of his poems appear here, the most famous of which being Jabberwocky, The Walrus and the Carpenter, and The Hunting of the Snark. Narrator Griffin Rogers recorded Jabberwocky as a Christmas present for his son before spending the next several years recording additional nonsense whenever he was able to find an unlocked window and sneak into a recording studio. (If that sounds like a lot of nonsense to you, you will love this audiobook - and so will your children.)
