Finished:
Lullabies and Poems for Children ed. by Diana Secker Larson, another Everyman's Library anthology that's pretty tasty -- lots of traditional wind-down songs, well-known and obscure, including additional verses for some usually heard in curtailed form. Pity lullabies have been pretty much nixed in our household for almost a year. The slimmer second half is disappointing, however: heavy on nonsense, making the couple selections of Blake a breath of fresh air. Recommended for the lullabies only.
Ongoing:
I Shall Seal the Heavens through chapter 1004, finishing book 6 -- so about ⅝ done. Whew!
