A Visit to William Blake's Inn:
Poems for Innocent and Experienced Travelers
by N. Willard
Two hundred years ago, Willim Blake wrote poetry like
"Tyger, Tyger, burning bright." In this book, Newbery winner Nancy Willard
writes poems about an imaginary inn, describing the guests and staff. Angels shake
featherbeds while Rabbits shows guests to their rooms. When Tiger asks for a bedtime
story, this is what he receives "Now I lay me down to sleep with bear and rabbit,
bird and sheep. If I should dream before I wake, may I dream of William Blake."
