This was one of my favourite books as a child, having discovered it in the library of my elementary school, while in the second or third grade. There were many times (through the fifth grade) that I would go to the library specifically to borrow this volume again and again!

Unlike many other versions of this poem available on line, this Google Books version includes all the original plates and illustrations that were published with the poem in its lavish, leather-bound book form. It gives a much better indication of the reception of the poem in the Romantic era of the 19th century.
