Review of 'Moon Spun Round' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
What an enchanting introduction to Yeats! The curious child will find a selection of his fantasy and nature poetry, a couple of his folklore stories, anecdotes from Willie's childhood, the text of a letter he wrote age 11 to his sister, and reminiscences of his daughter Anne about what it was like to grow up with a genius for a da, all wonderfully illustrated.
A better approach to the topic than 'Poetry for Young People: [b:William Butler Yeats|308977|William Butler Yeats|W.B. Yeats|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1344693942l/308977.SX50.jpg|299931]'. Both books are good, contain many of the same poems, and are worth your time, but 'The Moon Spun Round' is more likely to draw in a child (for a start, compare the covers) and will give them a more comprehensive view of WBY's life and work.
