STRINGS OF PEARLS: A COLLECTION OF POEMS (LAUTUS PRESS)

Jewellery doesn't have to be valuable to be precious. A ring is the symbol of eternal love; a string of pearls can set off a sequence of memories. This illustrated anthology of over 50 poems is for anyone who has ever treasured a piece of jewellery. Poets include T S Eliot, Gillian Clarke, Carol Ann Duffy, James Fenton, Helen Dunmore and Kathleen Jamie. The black and white illustrations include a wood engraving by Harry Brockway, a 15th century engraved manuscript, and Alice Patullo's Pearly King and Queen. Other volumes in the same series: Shorelines, Washing Lines, Treelines, At Home.
