"Long -- long is Time, though books be brief: Adventures strange -- ay, past belief -- Await the Reader's drowsy eye; But, wearied out, he'd lay them by. "But, if so be he'd some day hear All that befell these brothers dear In Tishnar's lovely Valleys -- well, Poor pen, thou must that story tell! "But farewell, now, you Mulgars three! Farewell, your faithful company! Farewell, the heart that loved unbidden -- Nod's dark-eyed, beauteous Water-midden!" If you know Walter De La Mare's work, you probably know him as an important literary novelist and poet in the early twentieth century. But he also tried his hand at children's fiction, and The Three Mulla-mulgars is pretty special. It's the sort of book you want to take home and read to your kids yourself. But it's De La Mare. You know it's got to have a bit of verse, don't you?

About the Author
De La Mare, Walter: - "Walter John de la Mare (1873 - 1956) was an English poet, short story writer and novelist. He is probably best remembered for his works for children, for his poem The Listeners and for a small yet highly acclaimed selection of subtle psychological horror stories, amongst them Seaton's Aunt and All Hallows. His 1921 novel Memoirs of a Midget won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction and his post-war Collected Stories for Children won the 1947 Carnegie Medal for British children's books."
