Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. Rev. ed 186 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm OCLC 964661 dark red cloth ; no dustjacket ; names on front endpaper ; Nature, man and human history are reflected on in the verse of English and American poets and such prose works as the Gettysburg Address and the Declaration of Independence ; Roy Jay Cook was born on 18 July 1873, in Minneapolis. 101 Famous Poems is a long-running anthology compiled by Roy Jay Cook, first published in 1916 and continuously in print since that time. The collection brings together 101 well-known poems drawn primarily from British and American poets, presenting a wide range of classic English-language verse that reflects popular tastes of the early twentieth century. Many editions also feature a prose supplement that includes significant historical and inspirational documents, such as Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, the Declaration of Independence, the Ten Commandments, and Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech. The anthology encompasses works by poets including William Shakespeare, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Edgar Allan Poe, Alfred Tennyson, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Frost, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and others, with selections covering themes of inspiration, patriotism, romance, history, and reflection.Frequently indexed by title, author, and first line, the book has served as an accessible entry point to poetry for generations of readers, often appearing as a family keepsake, school text, or introduction to classic verse.Its enduring appeal lies in its presentation of familiar, memorable poems that have inspired and comforted readers across more than a century. Later editions were published under Cook's own imprint, R.J. Cook, also based in Chicago. In the 1910s and 1920s, recitation culture held significant influence in education and home settings, with memorization and oral delivery of poems serving as standard practices for building character, elocution skills, and appreciation of literary heritage. In the 1910s and 1920s, recitation culture held significant influence in education and home settings, with memorization and oral delivery of poems serving as standard practices for building character, elocution skills, and appreciation of literary heritage. Roy Jay Cook designed the collection with accessibility in mind, offering it at a low price to place classic poems within reach of every child and household across diverse economic backgrounds.This commercial approach aligned with contemporary efforts to democratize literature, ensuring poetry reached beyond elite circles into ordinary homes and classrooms where it could fulfill educational and uplifting roles.McGraw-Hill Companies, which later acquired Contemporary Books' interests, continued publication with a trade paperback reprint in 1994.

Hardcover. Second edition. This is a lovely presentation copy of the second edition of this Christmas anthology, edited by Robert Frost's eldest daughter, featuring several noteworthy signatures, inscriptions, and presentations. This copy offers a compelling and ostensibly unique convocation of associations - including the poet Robert Frost, his daughter Lesley Frost, (in)famous Frost collector Earl J. Bernheimer, and newspaper columnist and syndicator George Matthew Adams. A two-page facsimile manuscript of Robert Frost's poem "Good Relief" fills two pages preceding the title page. Below his facsimile signature, in six lines in black ink, Frost signed and wrote "Robert Frost - | second | signature | for | Earl J. Bernheimer | April 5 1936". The Editor, Leslie Frost, signed "Lesley Frost" below her printed name on the title page. She further signed and inscribed the front free endpaper recto in five lines (three at the upper center, two at the lower left): "For | George Matthew Adams | from | Lesley Frost | N.Y.C. | June 1951". Already unique by inscriptions and association, this copy is also noteworthy for condition, approaching fine in a very good plus dust jacket. It is an attractive little book, bound in blue cloth with elaborate gilt print and illustration on the spine, the contents bound with red and yellow head and tail bands and yellow-stained top edges. The dust jacket is striking, printed in green, red, and black on a silver background, the holly leaves and banners design of the binding spine repeated in color on both the jacket spine and front face edges, with further illustrations on both faces. This copy's blue cloth binding is square, clean, bright, tight, and sharp-cornered, with only trivial hints of shelf wear to extremities. The contents are clean and bright, with no spotting, no soiling, no appreciable toning, and retaining a crisp feel. The dust jacket is bright, unclipped, and nearly complete, with only fractional loss at the spine head, flap fold corners, and the bottom edge of the front face. Light soiling to the rear face and minor scuffs, primarily to the extremities, joints, and flap folds, do not significantly mar the book's excellent presentation. The book is housed in a marbled-paper-lined black cloth chemise nested within a black cloth slipcase with three, gilt-printed, dark red leather spine labels. The slipcase is intact, though worn with some loss to the perimeter of the labels. The circa 1929 facsimile manuscript of Frost's poem "Good Relief" herein is the first published appearance of this poem, which was never included by Robert Frost in one of his collections. "The poem was begun in Beaconsfield, England, in 1912." It was first printed in the first, 1929 edition of Come Christmas, and printed again here in the 1935 second edition.The recipient for whom Frost inscribed this copy was one of the twentieth century's first significant Frost collectors. A wealthy, Beverly Hills bibliophile, Earl J. Bernheimer began collecting Frost's books and manuscripts in 1936 - the same year Frost inscribed this copy of Come Christmas to him. Capitalizing on Frost's financial anxieties, Bernheimer eventually acquired from Frost a magnificent trove of Frostiana, with Frost entertaining the hope and understanding that "Bernheimer would one day donate everything to a single university library." Instead, owing in part to a rancorous and expensive divorce and to Frost's manifest resentment Bernheimer sold off his collection in a famous 1950 New York auction.The editor, Lesley Frost Ballantine or Lesley Frost as she always liked to be known (1899-1983) was the second child of Robert and Elinor Frost. She spent her early childhood on the Derry, New Hampshire farm that informed her father's developing poetic voice and where he drafted many of his early poems. It was during her first marriage and after the birth of her first daughter, Elinor (named after her mother and to whom this book is dedicated) that Leslie edited this collection of "C.…
