I think that makes our books quite special.<br /><br />Another recent anthology (and one that makes a great gift) is The National Geographic Book of Animal Poetry by J. Patrick Lewis. It is the DEFINITIVE book of animal poetry. One neat feature of that book is the way contemporary and classic poems on the same theme (such as horses) are grouped together.
