Voices

Not long ago I did a post about an anthology of Poems I studied at school many years ago. I bought that second-hand at the same time as I bought the three volumes shown above, Books 1-3 of Voices (edited by Geoffrey Summerfield). I seem to remember that we studied these at an earlier stage of 11+ education, probably in consecutive years before O-level. I remember the covers quite well, especially the rather spooky picture on Book 3.
They’re quite interesting books, each of which contains an eclectic collection of poems, including traditional rhymes and there is even some music at the back to accompany some of the verses that work as songs.
Anyone else remember these books?

No I was mostly in metalwork or detention.

i lost the first but I still keep the second two by my bedside. Never studied them, but my father, who was a Canadian school superintendent, brought home the example copies from the board office.
