This volume presents the poetic versions of almost the same themes as Gift from the Sea and is geared for a like popularity. Where in the former book the thoughts were laced rigidly together on a schematic formula having to do with the sea and its shells, they are caught up here in a new freshness which will have its appeal to women who experience many of these emotions in common. Essentially light but of a quality to win Anne Lindbergh a place among outstanding women poets.
