Book Reviews of Silver Pennies
Book Review: Poetry you can warm up to like a fireplace or looking at the stars
Summary: 5 Stars
For me, todays poetry can not compare-two rare and wonderful books of poetry: Star Points and Silver Pennies
It is like sitting in your favorie chair next to a warm fire in your fireplace, a cup of tea, coffee or chocolate at hand, and you open your book and say hello to an old friend, who takes you to wonderful places and see your world with new eyes and a deeper appreciation, this feeds your soul, and finally you Know your true self.
I had just received my delivery of a new copy of Silver Pennies, Blanche Jennings Thompson, illustrator Winifred Bromhall orignal date 1925.
I had an original copy of the book, and gave it away, but my soul cried out for it and Amazon sent it. It is a plain cover library binding, it does not have that original blue cover with the silver moon and the silver pennies falling from the sky into a childs hand, but that amazing poetry, is still there, an old friend, tried and true.
I knew that I should also look for Star Points to see if they had released it again. My copy has been safely tucked away in a Ziplock bag, which I use for a lot of my precious books.
On the Star Points, I have the original hardback, worn, aged yellowed pages, and I would not give his book up for anything!
I ran across it in a used book store, or second hand shop in 1983, and I signed my name and the date under the original owners --dated 1927. This was compiled after The War (world war one to us), thankfully, it is also available again.
