📖 Walter de la Mare was a 20th century novelist, short story writer and poet. He is best known for his children's stories. His love of imagination made his children's books very popular, but this also may have contributed to his other writings being taken less seriously. The Listeners is his most famous work. This volume contains the following sections: lyrical poems, characters from Shakespeare, sonnets, memories from Childhood, The Listeners, and Motley.
