My Favorite Childhood Book

I can't remember when I have not had a copy of When the Dark Comes Dancing; my parents started reading to me from it before I can remember. I love almost all of the poems and most of the illustrations (the only reason that I took off one star is that there are one or two illustrations that scared me when I was very young). I am now in college and keep it on my bookshelf here to bring out when I am homesick. This is really a wonderful book for most children.
