The Lady of Shalott: Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem
Willows whiten, aspens quiver, Little breezes dusk and shiver Thro' the wave that runs for ever By the island in the river Flowing down to Camelot. Four gray walls, and four gray towers, Overlook a space of flowers, And the silent isle imbowers The Lady of Shallot. The familiar words of this romantic poem have been enriched by the mysterious and evocative charcoal drawings of the late Charles Keeping. His illustrations will serve to stir the poetic imagination of readers familiar with Tennyson's haunting poem and will add an intriguing element of suspense and drama to newcomers. A memorable book -- for children and adults alike.
