| Summary | "Come Hither: A Collection of Rhymes and Poems for the Young of All Ages" by Walter de la Mare is a collection of children's poems and rhymes crafted in the early 20th century. The book celebrates themes of nature, childhood, and the joys of youth through whimsical and melodic verse. It features a mix of original works and classic nursery rhymes, encouraging readers of all ages to engage in the wonder of poetry. The opening portion of the book introduces a nostalgic journey to a mysterious old house called Thrae, under the observation of a young boy named Simon. He recalls his fond memories of exploring the area, including his encounters with Miss Taroone, a somewhat austere yet intriguing woman who lives there. The narrative captures Simon's mix of fear, curiosity, and admiration, as he navigates the enchanting world surrounding Thrae, piquing interest in the connection between memory, imagination, and the house's secrets, which suggest a magical quality that impacts the boy's understanding of life and poetry.
