A wonderful gift
While not an avid reader of Tennyson myself, I bought this book for my brother's birthday. I was very impressed. The selection of peices was large and the book printed on high quality paper, with no cramped spaces. The work was presented in a setting very attractive to a poetry reader and was small enough to slip in anywhere. If you want to know about the poetry you will...

Too much commentary, not enough Tennyson,

This review is from: Selected Poems: Alfred Lord Tennyson (Penguin Audio Poetry) (Paperback)
The readers for this audio recording performed satisfactorily. Derek Jacobi was particularly fine. However, there was too much narration between the poems. The commentators should have worked briefly, and before the poems, not between them.A poor choice for those who expect an uninterrupted stream of beautiful English poetry.
