4-6Poetry for Young People series.
Illustrated by
Robert Crockett.
These are informative introductions to the lives of the two poets. Williams discusses his childhood, education, and influences and includes thirty-two poems, such as "The Red Wheelbarrow." Tennyson emphasizes the connections between his personal life and what he wrote; most of the thirty poems included are from longer works but stand well on their own. Handsome paintings interpret the verse. Ind. Review covers these Poetry for Young People titles: William Carlos Williams and Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
