This satisfyingly fat volume is a delight - from the hilarious <i>Beastly Tales</i> (with illustrations by Ravi Shankar), through the clever and memorable 'Quatrains', to single poems of immense lyrical truth and beauty, such as 'All You Who Sleep Tonight'

- Bel Mooney, DAILY MAIL

All his work shares an interest in using dazzling, lyrical language to bring past and present alive . . . There is so much to enjoy in Seth's mapping of the frailty and joy of our human existence

THE LADY

Widely celebrated as the author of the worldwide bestselling novels A SUITABLE BOY and AN EQUAL MUSIC, Vikram Seth is also a highly acclaimed poet with a substantial body of work.

A phenomenon, a prodigy, a marvel ... It is hard to believe that Seth is only one man - Evening StandardA SUITABLE BOY may prove to be the most fecund as well as the most prodigious work of the latter half of this century - perhaps even the book to restore the serious reading public's faith in the contemporary novel ... You should make time for it. It will keep you company for the rest of your life - The TimesThe language has a remarkably direct, almost naive fullness of rhythm and rhyme ... extraordinary - Guardian on THE RIVERED EARTHSuch writing reminds us that there are secrets beyond technique, beyond style, which have to do with a quality of soul on the part of the writer, a giving of oneself - Guardian on A SUITABLE BOY
