About this audiobook
A poem for Halloween by the 17th century English author Robert Herrick. His poems were not widely popular at the time they were published. His style was strongly influenced by Ben Jonson, by the classical Roman writers, and by the poems of the late Elizabethan era. This must have seemed quite old-fashioned to an audience whose tastes were tuned to the complexities of the metaphysical poets such as John Donne and Andrew Marvell. His works were rediscovered in the early nineteenth century, and have been regularly printed ever since. (Summary by Wikipedia)

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The poem itself is OK, probably about a minute in duration. This is actually a compilation of many different narrators’ takes on the same poem. I found it quite interesting that the poem took on various moods and settings based on the narrator’s take. One iteration felt like a Stephen King novel. Another reading felt like an old Celtic tale. Yet another had an Edgar Allan Poe quality to it. Some of the readings fell flat. Overall, a fascinating study of how narration can impact the story.
