Publisher's Synopsis
Fairies and Fusiliers is a collection of poems written by Robert Graves and published in 1918. The poems are a mixture of light-hearted and serious pieces, exploring themes such as war, love, nature, and mythology. The title of the collection reflects this mix, as it combines the whimsical world of fairies with the harsh reality of soldiers (fusiliers). Many of the poems in the collection were written during Graves' time serving in the First World War, and reflect his experiences and observations of the conflict. However, the collection is not solely focused on war, and also includes poems that explore other aspects of life, such as love and nature. Graves' writing style is often described as lyrical and musical, with a focus on imagery and symbolism. The poems in Fairies and Fusiliers are no exception, with vivid descriptions and evocative language throughout. Overall, Fairies and Fusiliers is a diverse and engaging collection of poems that showcases Robert Graves' talent as a writer and his unique perspective on the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
