Publisher Description

Winter: the time of the year when the nights close in and the temperature drops below freezing. It seems like a season that everyone struggles to get through, only enduring it because of the promise of spring’s return. For many, however, it is the bounty of Christmas that steals their attention; for others, it is the renewal of the New Year. But for nature it is pause for breath, to take stock of what has gone by in the year and ready itself for the energies and dramatic development that spring will bring. Winter has its beauty too: the frost covered ground, the grey swell of the sea, and the bleak yet beautiful stark landscape.

Our collection of poems brings together the talents of many beloved poets such as Thomas Hardy, Robert Browning, Emily Dickinson, Daniel Sheehan, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Emily Bronte, to catalog and celebrate this season.

About various authors

Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) was born in Odense, Denmark, the son of a poor shoemaker and a washerwoman. As a young teenager, he became quite well known in Odense as a reciter of drama and as a singer. When he was fourteen, he set off for the capital, Copenhagen, determined to become a national success on the stage. He failed miserably, but made some influential friends in the capital who got him into school to remedy his lack of proper education. In 1829 his first book was published. After that, books came out at regular intervals. His stories began to be translated into English as early as 1846. Since then, numerous editions, and more recently Hollywood songs and Disney cartoons, have helped to ensure the continuing popularity of the stories in the English-speaking world.
