This massive and rather aged book contains all of the poems and plays of Robert Browning. It has in it The Pied Piper of Hamelin, Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came, The Ring and the Book and a few others that I had not heard of. It also has a short biography on Browning.

I initially picked up this book when it was being sold by the Library. For some reason the name piqued my interest. I assume it was because of his poems. As for his other works, I hadn't heard of them before. It was a bit of trouble entering this book at all since the one I have doesn't possess an ISBN in the information page; the book is from 1934 I believe. In any case, I only have one problem with this book and that is that Browning is sometimes long-winded.

It's probably a problem on my part though, not his. I found it a bit difficult to focus well enough to slog through some of his works. All in all this is a good volume and seems pretty complete. ( )

I bought this book solely because of the review of the book written on the ffep by a former owner, Osborne Griggs, Beta House, Beloit College, Wisconsin. Mr. Griggs was a member of the college's football team and graduated in 1936.
