Spanning centuries of English-language poetry, it gathers works ranging from anonymous medieval ballads to the Romantic and Victorian masters, illustrating the vast emotional and imaginative range of the poetic tradition. De la Mare frames the collection with a charming, semi-autobiographical prose narrative that gives the anthology a warm, intimate tone, as though a wise and whimsical guide is personally introducing each poem to the reader. The selections are organized not by period or author but by mood and theme, creating a reading experience that feels organic and enchanting rather than academic. Widely regarded as one of the finest poetry anthologies ever compiled, Come Hither remains an essential volume for anyone who wishes to discover, or rediscover, the enduring magic of English verse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887945330907,"sku":"2026770000431-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/bf584bb1-ee45-46ef-a2b9-bed10ad1fdb0.png?v=1781750097","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000431-secondhand-come-hither-two-volume-set","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
