Each description gives the background of the book and its relationship to others and is accompanied by illustrations of its contents in color and black and white.

The Oxford Book of Local Verses
Author: John Holloway
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
This delightful anthology celebrates the largely anonymous but often inventive and gifted authors of local verse. An inmate at Millbank who scratched a few lines about English prisons on the bottom of his dinner-can, or a Kent gunner who petitioned for his discharge in verse. There are verses found on village crosses, fountains, sundials, bells, and caves. The book includes epitaphs and also verses inscribed on moveable objects such as clocks and pottery, silverware and books. Country charms and weather rhymes, children's games and farming songs add to the variety of tone and style.
