Allison, Jonathan, ed. William Butler Yeats. Series title: Poetry for Young People. Illustrated by Glenn Harrington. New York: Sterling Publishing Co., Inc. 2002. 

The Irish poet William Butler Yeats remains one of the most admired and often quoted poets of the last century. In his introduction to each poem, editor Allison recalls the mystical traditions of Ireland and also explains the historical context in which the poem was written. Illustrator Harrington's paintings help readers to envision the haunting beauty of Ireland, so deftly evoked by the poet's words.
