Like bedtime with my Dad

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 11, 2006

I was given this book by a dear friend for my 50th birthday. Imagine my surprise when it turned out Jackie was reading Caroline a lot of the same poems that my Dad used to read to my sister and me at bedtime. I lost this book, along with many others, in the flood following Katrina. There are books that I decided I could live without, but this one I had to replace.

This is the greatest gift I could ever give... It has changed me

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 17, 2005

After reading the first installment (Best loved poems of JKO), I shared many of my favorites with my niece who's barely 10 yrs old. She fell in love with "Annabel Lee" by the great EAP. I was so intrigued by her interest. I then ordered a copy of "A Family of Poems", 2 copiesfor she and I. The illustrations are magical as well as the words the depict them. I have found such pleasure in sharing them with my family, I...

a loving daughter's tribute

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 31, 2001

"The Best Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis," selected and introduced by Caroline Kennedy, is a beautiful book which is both a memorial to our former First Lady and a testimonial to how cultured and informed she was. The volume is also a short course in poetry, as it spans the centuries & includes works by such renowned authors as Langston Hughes, William Shakespeare, Homer, W.B. Yeats, Emily Dickinson, e.e. cummings,...

A Lovely Tribute from Caroline to Her Mother

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 25, 2001

I think I can liberally say, and that others will agree, that the Kennedy family revels in their iconography (for example, the catalogue for the JACQUELINE KENNEDY: THE WHITE HOUSE YEARS exhibit.) However, every once in a while, they have an inspiring moment that allows us to see the person, and not the icon, that is celebrated. This book is one of those moments.Now, it is a definite possibility that someone is going to complain...

A delight!

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 22, 2001

What a pleasure to read EACH of these poems. So many have familiar parts, and now I see them in context. I'm not a real poetry fan, so I am unfamiliar with what others might call "chestnuts." I was looking for good things to read to my 7-yr-olds, and this is wonderful. For them and for me. Thank you for a wonderful collection that is going to lead me to buy the complete works of many of these poets.
