Publisher's Synopsis
The Golden Year: From The Verse And Prose Of James Whitcomb Riley is a collection of poetry and prose by American writer James Whitcomb Riley, originally published in 1898. The book contains a selection of Riley's works, including his famous poems ""Little Orphant Annie"" and ""The Raggedy Man."" The poems and prose pieces in the collection are written in Riley's signature dialect style, which captures the rhythms and cadences of everyday speech in the American Midwest. Many of the pieces in the book celebrate the simple pleasures of rural life, such as the changing of the seasons, the joys of childhood, and the beauty of the natural world. The Golden Year is a nostalgic and heartwarming collection that provides a glimpse into a bygone era of American life and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
