I should probably get rid of it, but it's so beautiful. ewalrath | Jul 18, 2009 | The poetry is beautiful, the rhyme scheme is melodic, and the illustrations definitely enhance the words. I came away with an appreciation of the beauty of the words, the pictures, and life in general. It can be read in about an hour. It can be studied and analysed for a lifetime. (  ) tututhefirst | May 3, 2009 | This edtion (0946495602) is illustrated by René Bull (1872 – 1942) who is considered among the artists associated with what has been termed the Golden Age of Fantasy Illustration. gentcat | Mar 27, 2009 | A great poem rendered in rhyming format by Edward FitzGerald. This book also has very beautiful illustrations by Edmunt J. Sullivan. (  ) Waldheri | Feb 13, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
