Donald Hall is the author of many books, including The Oxford Book of American Literary Anecdotes, Kicking the Leaves, The Man Who Lived Alone, Ox-Cart Man, Anecdotes of Modern Art (co-written with Pat Corrington Wykes), and the forthcoming Old and New Poems.
"[Hall's] fascinating anthology will remain valuable, both as a
source of the poems we once loved that have vanished from later
collections, and as a fascinating and well-researched history of
the form."--Alison Lurie, The New York Times Book Review
"Brings out the kid in any of us."--David Lehman, The Washington
Post Book World
"I'll return to this book again and again, whether or not I have a
child on my knee."--The Christian Science Monitor
"Excellent in every way.... It shows us, as no other evidence
could, how often and how greatly our society has changed its
conception of the child's mind and world."--Richard Wilbur
"An entertaining collection of old and new, this is an anthology to
add to the family library but not to keep on the shelf. Circulate
it among family and friends, and, above all, read it aloud."--The
Sunday Boston Globe
"Donald Hall has put together a long-needed treasure of a book. At
a time when most poetry for children sounds as if it were written
by a sponge dipped in sugared milk he has brought together the true
best of a great and ignored tradition. I wish every American child
could grow up with it. I wish I had it as a child."--John Ciardi
