 The rhyme game was on point with this poem. 

It was a quick read, and the illustrations were fantastic - I’d had no idea that it was tradition to illustrate poetry in the Victorian era. 

It was pretty much as expected, so if you’re interested in picking some classic poetry up I don’t think you can go wrong with this one, and would recommend it for the illustrations especially - they’re very collage-meets-cottagecore and I think they complement the poem really well.
