Must have read some of his poems.<br /><br />I ordered a couple of children's books (stories) via the library. You are using your collection well.<br />I have only one book by de la Mare - it's The Traveller (FE 1956, illustrated, no d/w, gd.) although I have some of his poems in 'Georgian Poetry'<br /><br />Some trivia though! I have dentist near here and one time I went and was talking to a dentist (who was filling in I think) and when I said I was interested in poetry etc, he said, my grandfather was Walter de la Mare...then I realized, his name was in fact Delamare. He was an older a roughly my age. From images of W d LM he looked somewhat like him indeed! <br /><br />So you are in book by King and I had a dentist who had the poetic ghost of de la Mare in him working on my teeth!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272507198753290435noreply@blogger.com
