{"product_id":"9780806955438","title":"Poetry for Young People: Robert Browning","description":"Robert Browning's poetry has mysteries and a beauty of language that youngsters will love exploring, from the classic and beloved \u003ci\u003ePied Piper of Hamelin\u003c\/i\u003e to the charming verse play \u003ci\u003ePippa Passes\u003c\/i\u003e. Perfect for parents to read aloud or along with their children, and accompanied by striking artwork, here is a selection of some of Browning's most reader-friendly works. Several paintings compellingly capture \u003ci\u003ePied Piper's\u003c\/i\u003e drama: the Piper, smiling as he offers his services; the rats fleeing the town in droves; and the entranced children who will soon be lost forever. \u003ci\u003eHome Thoughts from Abroad\u003c\/i\u003e (\"Oh, to be in England, Now that April's there...\") features illustrations of the countryside in full bloom. There are 25 excerpts in all, fully annotated to enrich young readers' understanding of these poems.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDr. Eileen Gillooly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e earned her Ph.D. from Columbia University, where she is Director of the Core Curriculum and teaches nineteenth-century literature and culture.
