Synopsis

A stirring collection of poems that blend fantasy, memory, and social conscience. This edition presents Ruth Manning-Sanders’s vivid scenes of street life, countryside, and myth, in a voice both intimate and expansive.

The Pedlar: And Other Poems gathers lyric images that move from quiet rooms and chilly streets to bright, widening horizons. The verses mix dreamlike visions with sharp, compassionate portraits of people, animals, and the world they share. You’ll find a cadence that feels both old and newly alive, inviting reflection and wonder.

  • Mythic guardians and mythical beings inhabit the everyday, adding wonder to ordinary scenes.
  • Striking contrasts between warmth and hardship—past and present, light and shadow—unfold with clear, accessible language.
  • Vivid portraits of animals, riders, farmers, and travelers that pulse with emotion and atmosphere.
  • Themes of courage, conscience, and mercy threaded through evocative, scene-driven poems.
Ideal for readers who enjoy poetry that speaks in crisp imagery and human-scale feeling—stories of ordinary life touched by imagination and myth, with a listener’s heart for others.
