Wonderful vintage 1957 poetry anthology, Favorite Poems Old and New, selected for boys and girls by Helen Ferris and beautifully illustrated by renowned illustrator Leonard Weisgard. This beloved mid century children’s poetry collection contains more than 700 poems — including classic favorites, timeless literary works, and then-contemporary poems curated for young readers and families. The book was designed to encourage children to browse poems by theme and discover pieces for special occasions, seasons, nature, family life, animals, adventure, and childhood imagination. The interior features gorgeous mid century illustrations and landscape artwork throughout by Leonard Weisgard, giving the book a dreamy storybook aesthetic that displays beautifully as both a readable vintage volume and decorative shelf piece.

Refunds and Exchanges:
All sales are final. For our clothing items, you will not be refunded if an item does not fit. Please check the measurements carefully. As our items are antique and vintage, please zoom into photographs to view details, and ask any questions prior to purchase.

Vintage and Antique Items:
All inventory is pre-owned vintage, antique or artisan pieces. These pieces may be unique and hold marks of their previous lives. For instance, we sell many brass or silver pieces and they may show some tarnishing or patina. We do not polish the pieces as we personally love the aging, as many do! We leave it up to the new owner and their preferences for aiming to remove or not. Our goal is to provide accurate descriptions for every listing, with detailed photographs and notations of imperfections. Please review descriptions and photographs before purchasing. If you have any concerns or issues, please contact us so that we may address them and do our best to meet your needs.
