Fifty New Poems For Children An Anthology By Basil Blackwell and published by Oxford University Press publication details Second Edition1924 ____________________________________________________________ Overview "Fifty New Poems for Children: An Anthology Selected From Books Recently Published by Basil Blackwell" is a historical collection of children's verse compiled and published by Basil Blackwell in Oxford. Originally released in 1922, this anthology serves as a significant snapshot of early 20th-century English children's literature. The book is highly sought after by collectors and literary historians today for its unique inclusions which include J.R.R. Tolkien's Early Work titled Goblin Feet (reprinted from Oxford Poetry 1915).  This entry, Goblin Feet, has the famous typo in the Contents Page. Alongside Tolkien, the collection features verses by prominent writers of the era, including Robert Graves, Edith Sitwell, Katharine Tynan, and M. Nightingale. It features the poem Romance by E. F. A. Geach, which scholars suggest may have inspired Tolkien's famous piece "The Road Goes Ever On" found in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Description  A delightful little book in good condition for age.  Printed in 1924 it suffers from a little age-related ingrained dirt and light foxing to end papers, with a whisper of browning throughout. There is browning on the front cover ... C. T. Nightingale’s woodcut.  Some colleagues believe though, like grey hair, it adds an air of distinction and respectability.
