Sara Teasdale's wonderful collection of children's poetry, âRainbow Gold - Poems Old and Newâ, was originally published in 1922. Exquisitely illustrated by the accomplished children's illustrator Dugald Stewart Walker, this charming volume is ideal for introducing children to poetry and is not to be missed by collectors. Dugald Stewart Walker was one of the most highly-celebrated American illustrators of children's books during the early twentieth century and are best remembered for the lavish, magical realm that they frequently described. He is perhaps best known for his contributions to âFairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersenâ (1914), but also illustrated books such as âThe Boy who Knew what the Birds Saidâ and âDream Boats and Other Storiesâ. Sara Teasdale (1884 â 1933) was an American lyric poet. She was inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame in 1994. The poems included in this book: âKubla Khanâ, âMeg Merriliesâ, âBerriesâ, âRomanceâ, âHymn of Panâ, âWritten in Marchâ, âWhen the Hounds of Springâ, âSongâ, âUnder the Greenwood Treeâ, âTo Violetsâ, âOn May Morningâ, âThe Lepracaunâ, âHunting Songâ, âThe Lady of Shalottâ, âHymn to Dianaâ, and many more.
