Poems Of Childhood Eugene Field Horace Roswell Martin Field Books
The poems in this collection are somewhat old fashioned and in places somewhat sad. I've heard that Mr. Field lost a child and this explains some of the wistfulness and sadness of some of the poems. The poems are sweet without being cloying and reflect a father's delight in childhood and children. My main desire to write this review is to encourage anyone thinking of buying it to buy it in the hardcover edition with the fabulous Maxfield Parrish full color pictures. There are 10 full page color pictures in all and I believe they are unique to this book, as I've only seen a couple of them in collections of Parrish's illustrations. The colors are true--Parrish's color palette was often very subtle. There are some sideways nudes, but these are not distasteful, being handled in a way that illustrates the freedom of youth (The children look nonsexual, as if the sexual parts of their bodies didn't exist). I heartily recommend this book for the gentle poems and the marvelous pictures. So hold out for the hardcover and find one with the Parrish pictures.Product details

Poems Of Childhood Eugene Field Horace Roswell Martin Field Books Reviews
Do not purchase this book (purple with flowers) The publisher has somehow squeezed over a hundred pages into 26. The print is so tiny. Unreadable. The poems are squeezed together and run together with no spacing. They run together, and there are 3 columns just squashed together on each page. It is just awful. I am going to look for suggestions and purchase this in a better format so my children can enjoy it with me. Thankfully, refunded this without me having to ship it back. What a waste!
This book was a big disappointment. It was cheap, so I didn't have many expectations but I thought it would at the very least have been edited. There were tons of major typos, no illustrations, and very difficult to read because of the awful formatting. I definitely would not recommend it.
Wonderful book of Fields' poems.
At age 82 this is an exact copy of one my mother read from when I was a child. The book is in decent shape as well
This book is in very good shape considering it is 112 years old. The binding is loose, so I will be taking it to a book-binder who specializes in repairing antique books. All of the pages, illustrations and the tissue page before each illustration are present. I appreciate the opportunity to purchase such a treasure.
the children love the poems and illustrations.
I purchased this copy of Poems of Childhood by Eugene Field because it said that it was illustrated by Maxfield Parrish. Even the picture of the book cover here features an image of a Maxfield Parrish painting. While I am happy to have my own copy of the poems finally, I am quite disappointed that it does not include the images that were implied to be included in the book. This company got my business because their item for sale was mis-represented in its presentation online. It's not clear to me if this was because of how the company or advertised the item.
