Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. A charming mid-century anthology of humorous and light verse, The Moon Is Shining Bright as Day was selected and introduced by Ogden Nash, one of America's most beloved comic poets. First published in 1953, the volume gathers playful poems and nursery rhymes from a wide range of writers, blending whimsy, wit, and gentle satire. Rose Shirvanian's lively line drawings add visual warmth throughout, making the book especially appealing to both adult readers and collectors of children's or illustrated literature. This copy is the Twelfth Printing, as explicitly stated on the copyright page. While the original copyright date remains 1953, later printings such as this were issued without a new date - standard practice for Lippincott at the time - placing this example most likely in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The distinctive green cloth binding with gilt stamping remains crisp and attractive, and the interior is exceptionally well preserved. A delightful and enduring Nash title, well suited for collectors of classic American humor, poetry anthologies, or mid-century illustrated books. Ogden Nash (1902-1971) was an American poet celebrated for his witty, unconventional verse and playful use of rhyme. Writing for The New Yorker and numerous books, Nash became one of the most recognizable literary humorists of the twentieth century, admired for making sophisticated wordplay accessible to readers of all ages.

Poems selected and introduced by Ogden Nash. "Here are poems that Ogden Nash (whom everybody does know) thinks that everybody ought to know. As he says in his foreword, he has chosen "great poems by famous poets, great poems by obscure poets, and some of the greatest poems by nameless poets," - a melange of the familiar and the rare which every member of the family will enjoy. The range of authors includes Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Don Marquis, e.e. cummings, William McGonagall, John Ciardi and a fellow named Ogden Nash, to name but a few. Mother Goose is also here. There is no special plan in Mr. Nash's selection; there is rather a reflection of his personal likes and, in some cases, dislikes. The result is a highly individual anthology that could only have been made by a person of taste and wit." - from the inner front jacket flap. Shirvanain, Rose (illustrator).…
