A Scribner Illustrated Classics reissue of Eugene Field's 1904 Poems of Childhood is set in the original typeface with reproductions of eight full color drawings by Maxfield Parrish. The book is more of a time capsule than a treasure trove of enduring poetry-despite works like "Little Boy Blue" and "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," reading nearly 200 pages of late-Victorian sentiment gets wearisome: a typical poem begins, "When our babe he goeth walking in his garden/ Around his tinkling feet the sunbeams play."
