This is the 1973 edition of The Oxford Book of Children's Verse, chosen and edited by Iona and Peter Opie, published by Oxford University Press. It has its original full color dust jacket with Romney's portrait of the Gower family. Underneath the covers are blue with gold lettering and picture of someone reading to children. The poems are divided by centuries with black and white illustrations on each dividing page. The poems span from the Medieval and 16th century to the late 19th century. There are 407 pages.
The book is in great vintage condition for its age and use. The dust jacket has general wear, mostly some fading and tearing at corners and edges. The book covers underneath are like new. The covers are attached at the spines. The pages are beginning to yellow.
The book measures 8.5 inches long by 5.75 inches wide. It is 1.25 inches thick.
