A Swinger of Birches

Clifton Fadiman narrates this selection with his rich, yet melodic voice and gives life to the short poems of this well-known poet. The pace is slow enough to savor the words and implications, yet it moves along to maintain the continuity of thought. An occasional sound effect pertinent to the poem, such as bells or birds, brings additional life to the presentation. Adults will appreciate the introduction. If children of elementary age are to appreciate and enjoy this, the book should be used with the tape. This would be an excellent choice for a family auto trip.
