Practically Every Line of Prose or Poetry You Have Ever Learned or Loved
"I have spent three hours with the book, A Treasury
of the Familiar. I expect to grab that book and sit on a
cloud for a thousand years when I take off or bail out
from this weary old world ... to chuckle over
it,
remi–
nisce over it and glow over
it,"
says famous editor
William Allen White about this big 750-page book. In
it
a re all those poems, prose passages, songs, speeches
and · quotations that live in the memory of every
American..
Wherever you turn a page you will find something you
have read or heard ever since you could remember.
They're all here-literary gems, sentimental ballads,
and patriotfc speeches; scenes from Shakespeare's plays
and Joyed passages from the Bible; famous poems of
Longfellow, Wordsworth, Browning and other cele–
brated poets of yesterday and today; ditties and dog–
gerel, old favorities that went the rounds years ago-all
in planned disorder which is but part of the book's
charm.
You will always be wondering what's coming next.
There are many such contrasts as the Balcony Scene
from "Romeo and Juliet" and "Little Brown Jug"–
"Paul Revere's Ride" and "The Girl I Left Behind Me."
You may pick
t.heTreasury up casually, but you will
always lay it down with regret. It's the perfect bed–
side, fireside and campside companion. Here is a book
for the entire family-a book to grow up with, Jive with,
grow old with. A book to love with genuine affection.
