A. D. Godley

Includes some satirical/prickly themes within the poems, challenging those who run the University of Oxford, e.g. issuing MA degrees away for money, etc. There are amusing poems on 'Love and golf' and 'Football and rowing - an eclogue', and this copy has an interesting bookplate of Kenneth Neuton Colvile.

I bought this volume for one poem only, "The Minstrel Boy", but have completely fallen in love with Moore's poetry. Given the fact that my taste in poetry runs towards Jack Prelutsky's work, this amazes even me. There's just something about Moore's work that I like.
