"Rhymes of Flood and Field" is a beautiful collection of classic poetry connected through the common theme of nature, specifically fields and rivers. Patrick Reginald Chalmers (1872 - 1942) was an Irish writer and banker. Other notable woks by this author include: "Green Days and Blue Days" (1912) and "A Peck of Malt" (1915). This charming collection of natural poetry will appeal to all nature and poetry lovers, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: "The Vixen", "Mr. Fox", "Invocation", "The Horn", "The Find", "John Peel", "The Trout Fisher", "Running Water", "The Wise Men", "On The Ridge", "The Myth", "The Chub", "Jack", "Below The Weir", "The Gamekeepers", "The Song of Fee, fo, fum ", "The Bread-and-butter Bird", The Big Pack", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a new, affordable, modern edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of poetry.
