I really enjoyed this small collection of 16 poems by twelve authors. Many of them were familiar from my school days (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Paul Revere's Ride," Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven," and Julia Ward Howe's "Battle-Hymn of the Republic." Others were new to me, such as a selection from John Greenleaf Whittier's "Snow-Bound," which I liked a lot. This is a 1962 publication of London's Vista Books; I can't remember how I ended up with this book, but I've had it forever. I'm glad I finally got around to reading it.
