One Hundred and One Famous Poems, With A Prose Supplement. An Anthology Compiled by Roy J. Cook. Published by The Cable Company, Chicago, 1929, revised edition.
A tall perfect bound book in card covers with clean bright pages on magazine style paper. 188 pages. Each poem is accompanied by a photography of portrait of its author, many very rarely seen. This is a well done selection that remains relevant to readers of English literature: both well known and lesser known works of the major poets, including Longfellow, Whitman, Rosetti, Dickinson, Sandburg, Emerson, James Russell lowe, Shelley, Milton, Frost; and some not as well remembered, such as Edward R. Sill, Mary Howitt, Alfred Noyes, Mary Mapes Dodge, William Carruth, Lucy Larcom, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Sidney Lanier, and many others. Interesting and unique! Stamped with a faint stamp as the property of an (illegible) public school. .
