These poems take me back to childhood when my siblings and I would tumble onto my mother's bed and she would read these very poems to us. It was a special time we shared and mom loved reading out loud in the homespun dialect in which JWR wrote. All three of us had our favorite poem, my sister loved "The Nine Little Goblins," my brother loved "The Bear Story," and mine was "Little Orphan Annie." Coming from Indianapolis, the home of JWR, I grew up to read the same poems to my own son as well as to take him to visit Lockerbie Street and the JWR house. As a coincidence this used book comes from a school library in Kansas, Hadley Jr. High and Hadley is my brother's name. This is a very special book in my mind, very special.Product details

The Best Loved Poems and Ballads of James Whitcomb Riley Classic Reprint James Whitcomb Riley 9780243399338 Books Reviews
O, it's many's the scenes which is dear to my mind
As I think of my childhood so long left behind....
(The Mulberry Tree)
One of James W. Riley's poems has a "long left behind" connection for me--
When I was a youngster, mom would come into my bedroom on rare special late nights and in total darkness give a spirited verbatim recitation of "Little Orphant Annie." This is the story of a hired colored woman who kept her charges in line by telling them a ghost story with this frightening refrain
An' the Gobble-uns'll git you
Ef you Don't Watch Out!
Widely read in late 19th and early 20th Century America, "The Hoosier Poet" James Whitcomb Riley (Oct. 7, 1849 - Jul. 22, 1916) is nearly forgotten today. A recent example of the continued slighting of Riley occurs during the credit scroll of the 2011 crime drama, TEXAS KILLING FIELDS, where a sung version of "Orphant Annie" is credited only to the music's composer.
James W.'s rhymes are often in dialect
"Hain't that-air Squire Hanch's old
Buggy," he says, "and claybank mare?"
Says I, "Le' 's git out the cold--
Your company's nigh 'bout froze!"
No wonder then that Riley's celebrity faded long ago. He's also considered un-PC for using "coon" dialect, like in "Annie."
The 407 pages in the 1934 edition of "Best Loved... Riley" contain verse written for children of a distant past. Sprinkled throughout however are universal thoughts that resonate sweetly over 100 years after they were penned.
