Samenvatting

In this well-researched, imaginatively compiled and hugely enjoyable anthology, such gems as The Vicar of Bray , Greensleeves , The British Grenadiers , She was Poor but She was Honest , The Foggy Foggy Dew and The Man on the Flying Trapeze , rub shoulders with lesser known, but equally enjoyable, works such as The Alto's Lament and The Atheist's Hymn ...and all by that famous author - Anon. Here, the serious saga of Agincourt, the thought provoking words of The Loom of Time and The Dash between the Years , the tugging-at-the-emotions words of God Called Your Name so Softly , contrast with the risque Bleedin' Sparrer and the humour of The Irish Pig , The Diplomatic Platypus and Dahn the Plug'ole . As with his highly successful England, my England, Gerry Hanson's Forever and Anon entertains inspires, delights and surprises in equal measure. There is something to please every palate, and on turning the pages one is struck by the mystery of how so many accomplished writers could fail to be identified with their work. Perhaps the most surprising mystery of all is how, for more than two centuries, the British have sung the words of their National Anthem without having the faintest idea of who wrote them. All three verses of the original Anthem are reproduced here, including the notorious and politically incorrect second verse which has been expunged from most hymnaries. As Gerry Hanson says in his introduction, if we are forbidden to sing this verse lest it give offence, then it is entirely appropriate that it ends with the words 'God Save Us All'. This is the first comprehensive anthology of the most prolific author ever - Anon. It includes favourite poems, songs, hymns, and prose - by the great Anon. Anon - famous or infamous? We'll never know. This is a delightful gift book for all occasions.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
