A beautiful, elegantly designed book. Great as a gift, though these are not the strongest of Neruda's poems. (

My favorite "beach" book. In the winter, when I'm away from the ocean, I read these poems and remember how it feels to sit on the sand for hours and watch the waves. Beautiful poems, beautiful illustrations.

I seem to keep buying this book only to watch friends "borrow" it and never return it. Well, here at Library Thing, it will always stay on my virtual bookshelf!! (
