Rhymes of Flood and Field is a beautiful collection of classic poetry connected through the common theme of nature, specifically fields and rivers. Patrick Reginald Chalmers (1872 - 1942) was an Irish writer and banker. Other notable woks by this author include: Green Days and Blue Days (1912) and A Peck of Malt (1915). This charming collection of natural poetry will appeal to all nature and poetry lovers, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection.
