This is a very varied collection of poems by Samuel G. Goodrich, alias Peter Parley. Some of the poems in this volume are rather dark and somber, others of a more light-hearted tone. Some of the poems are addressed to children, some are better enjoyed by adults. In any case, each reader, or listener, should find something suited to his or her tastes and moods in this collection. - Summary by Carolin
