For, since the birth of time, throughout all ages and nations,

Spencer Wright-Symthe is a Baron, who is a relic hunter. Thenie's cousin Lottie (who seems very cool) brings him to Thenie to rescue her from herself. There's a lot crammed in here.

I loved the illustrations and the poems are definitely classics.

As my first foray into a book of poetry it was more enjoyable than I expected it to be. I read them a loud to myself and think that may be the key for reading more poems.
