Tom Tiddler's Ground - A Book Of Poetry For Children
By Walter De La Mare
Illustrated With Charming Old World Wood Cuts
Published by Collins: London c1935 (undated - prize plate dated 1940)

"Tom Tiddler's Ground is a classic anthology of poetry for children, carefully selected by Walter de la Mare, one of the great masters of lyrical and imaginative verse. Drawing together nursery rhymes, traditional jingles, riddles, and poems both ancient and more modern, the collection offers a gentle introduction to the breadth and beauty of English poetry. De la Mare's introduction frames the book as a doorway into a larger imaginative landscape, where simple verses sit alongside works of lasting literary grace, all chosen for their musicality, imagery, and emotional warmth.

The volume is profusely illustrated with charming Old World woodcuts that perfectly complement the timeless character of the poems, evoking a pastoral, fairy-tale England that feels both nostalgic and enduring. Published by Collins of London in the mid-1930s, this copy bears a school prize plate dated 1940, adding a pleasing layer of provenance and historical context that speaks to the book's original role in childhood education. This is a delightful and evocative work that would appeal to collectors of Walter de la Mare, admirers of classic children's literature, and those with an interest in illustrated poetry and early 20th-century British publishing."
