{"product_id":"silver-1","title":"Silver","description":"About the Author\n\nWalter de la Mare (1873-1956) was born in Charlton, Kent. From 1890 to 1908, he worked in the statistics department of the London office of Anglo-American Oil. For the rest of his long life, he was a full-time writer. De la Mare's first collection of poetry, Songs of Childhood, was published under pseudonym in 1902. With the publication of The Listeners (1912) and the classic volume of children's poetry Peacock Pie (1913), he established himself as one of the leading poets of the time. In addition to publishing more than a thousand poems, culminating with The Traveller (1945) and Winged Chariot (1951), considered by many - among them T. S. Eliot, his editor at Faber - to be his finest poems, de la Mare published novels, including Memoirs of a Midget (1921), short stories, drama, stories for children and literary criticism. He also edited celebrated anthologies, including Come Hither (1923) and Behold This Dreamer (1939). Walter de la Mare received the Order of Merit in 1953.\n\nCarolina Rabei was born in 1989 in Moldova. She moved to Cambridge, England in September 2012 to complete an MA in illustration. Her first picture book, Snow, with words by Walter de la Mare, was published to huge critical acclaim. The Ride-by-Nights is the second de la Mare picture book that she has illustrated.\n\nProduct Description\n\nSlowly, silently, now the moon\nWalks the night in her silver shoon;\nThis way, and that, she peers, and sees\nSilver fruit upon silver trees;\n\nOne spring evening, the fairies gather in the woods. Two sleepy children join in the parade to a wonderful, dream-like fairy party.\n\nIllustrated by bright new talent, Carolina Rabei, this Walter de la Mare poem is brought to life with shimmery, ethereal illustrations, making it the perfect book for bedtime. One of four seasonal Walter de la Mare picture books that form a set, each with complementing colour palates and illustrations by rising young star Carolina.\n\nBook Description\n\nThe fourth book in the Walter De La Mare seasonal picture book quartet, beautifully illustrated by Carolina Rabei.\n\nExcerpt. © Reprinted by permission.
