Another shelf or two

Moving down the bookcase we have the poetry books--Favorite Poems Old and New compiled by Helen Farris is probably the most used but you will also find a beautiful copy of A Child's Garden of Verses illustrated by Jesse Wilcox Smith, 101 Best Loved Poems, A Child's Book of Beasts (alas illustrated by B.T.B. not G.K.C.), a few of those Poetry for Young People series of books, The World of Christopher Robin, Leaves of Grass and a collection by Robert Browning. The hobbits are fans of poetry and a few books are missing--The Harp and the Laurel Wreath, A Child's Anthology of Poetry and A Treasury of Playtime Poems are about the house somewhere. Also on this shelf are stray CD's for the computer--100 years of back issues of National Geographic, two editions of the World Book encyclopedia, various educational programs like Typing Tutor and Spell It and A Quarter Mile (never used, any of them!) A CD version of Butler's Lives of the Saints is here too and occasionally gets dusted off and placed in the computer, usually in November. The next shelf has my collection of What Your 1st through 6th Grader Needs to Know. These books were published roughly at the same time my oldest was in the corresponding grades and I have them all (I have the updated ones for some too). I never used these much passed the 3rd grade however except for science. The history just gets too confusing. I see Plutarch's Lives is on this shelf as well as Grimm's Fairy Tales, Bulfinch's Mythology, American Indian Myths and Legends and a couple of Shakespeare stories for kids (Nesbit and Garfield, we have Lamb too but it is obviously mishelved). Also on this shelf is six well thumbed volumes of Charlotte Mason, and four volumes of Our Quest for Happiness-a pre Vatican II high school religious course which I haven't read but my oldest hobbit liked alot.
