  In the village of Dymock, just by the river Leadon in Gloucester, in the years that were leading up to the Great War, six poets were creating literary history.   
  Living, visiting, reading and writing in this small area their friendships, as they intermingled and influenced each other’s lives, would create the enduring legacy of The Dymock Poets. 
  And these were not just run of the mill scribes.  Included in their number were Robert Frost, Edward Thomas and Rupert Brooke.  These three, together with John Drinkwater, Lascelles Abercrombie and Wilfrid Wilson Gibson, were the beating heart of the group.    
  In his volume we gather together some of their finest verse to best illustrate their poetical careers as well as including poems from the visiting Eleanor Farejon, a close friend of Thomas and his wife.
