"De Libris: Prose and Verse" by Austin Dobson is a compilation of essays and poems from the early 1900s that examines different ideas about literature, books, and what it means to be a reader and writer. Using thoughtful essays and expressive poems, Dobson considers the emotional importance we give to books, what literature is, and how writing comes to life. The book starts with Dobson talking directly to the reader, hoping they'll be kind as he shares his thoughts; he says he wrote not to impress everyone, but to connect with someone who understands. This sets the stage for essays describing special connections to books, filled with personal stories and reflections on how literature makes us feel, creating a deep and interesting experience.
