A landmark collection of poems from the author of Cider with RosieLaurie Lee is beloved for his writing on a lost rural world. His evocative poetry springs from his deep connection with nature, as he tracks the seasons changing and the years turning over. Yet Lees poems also captured war, human relationships and distant places, informed by his own experiences of lives uprooted by change and conflict. Written during the course of his lifetime, the verses brought together in Collected Poems range over Lee playing his fiddle in a Spanish town; ecstatic in springtime of his beloved Slad valley; or digging for faith in the depths of winter.Gathered in one volume for the first time, and including a generous selection of previously unseen verses from Lees archives, these timeless, poignant poems show him expressing the essence of life, love and loss.

En 1888, a xornalista Nellie Bly propúxolle ao seu editor no New York World completar a volta ao mundo en 80 días para converter en realidade a fantasía de Jules Verne. Un ano despois comezaría a viaxe co obxectivo de finalizala en 75 xornadas. Cunha equipaxe o mais lixeira posible, a reporteira partiu nunha viaxe de mais de corenta mil quilometros, na que mesmo se chegou a encontrar con Verne. Dos seus traslados en barco de vapor e ferrocarril deu conta grazas as redes de cable submarinas e ao telegrafo, mentres o xornal organizaba unha aposta entre os lectores para tratar de acertar con exactitude a data e hora de regreso da viaxeira.
