To anyone like me who used to be only familiar with a handful of poems by Robert Frost this volume was a pleasant surprise. Not only do we get a decent sampling of his poetry, starting with his earliest poems, there are also excerpts of his plays, interviews and some essays dealing with his other main interest, namely poultry farming.

This compilation is nicely put out, with a readable introduction, an index and a bibliography. To anyone not intent on becoming a specialist this reader will likely be all the Robert Frost you'll need.

For lovers of Frost's poetry, this collection has a good sampling. It also includes highlights from his prose, for those who want to expand their knowledge of his writing. This book helps with gaining insights into the poetry and the poet.
