The Backyard- by John Collier

"Braves loved maidens, and great battles with no names raged and chiefs walked like giants and breathed air that no man had ever breathed-all in my backyard." John Collier wrote and illustrated a book of poety. The book starts in a present day backyard and takes you back in time; letting you imagine all the things that probably took place in your backyard. Beautifully written and beautifully illustrated. The Backyard is just as much for adults as it is for children.
