The Children's Garland from the Best Poets by Coventry Patmore
"The Children's Garland from the Best Poets" by Coventry Patmore is a collection of poetry written in the mid-19th century. It assembles a selection of poems considered suitable for children, aiming to delight young readers much as poetry delights adults. The anthology features various renowned poets and captures themes that resonate with both children and their caregivers. The opening of this anthology introduces the concept behind the collection, emphasizing the intent toinclude poetry that genuinely appeals to children while providing timeless meanings and beauty. Patmore notes that most poetry written specifically for children is absent from this selection as he aimed for quality art that entertains and can delight readers of all ages. The selection begins with a series of delightful poems, each evoking imagery and emotions that children can appreciate, while also encouraging a love for the richness of language and storytelling.
