I have two OLD books that belonged to my father, used when he was in middle school. One is a copy of "Browning's Shorter Poems," (printed in 1893) from which I learned to love the Pied Piper, and "The Selected Idylls of the King" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, (printed in 1905.) Both are leather covered, quite battered as my father gave them to me in the early '50's. They are the only things I have from my father, except my name. I cherish all three.
