Review: A Visit to William Blake's Inn: Poems for Innocent and Experienced Travelers by Nancy Willard

Synopsis: Inspired by William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, this delightful collection of poetry for children brings to life Blake’s imaginary inn and its unusual guests. (from the online description)

Review: Whimsical, to the point of confusion, without true style or mastery. Although, considering Blake’s style (which I recognize as genius, even if I do not like it), it fits.

That being said, if you like Blake, you will like this. If you do not like Blake (which I do not) then you won’t.
