This was one of the set books for my A-level English, way back in the 80's. I'm not sure ‘enjoyed' is the word I would use to describe this book, but there are lines of poetry from here that come to mind from time to time and bring a smile to my face.
I kept my copy after A-levels, and still have it. Every now and again I dip into it and now, yes, I think I do enjoy reading it, probably because now there is no looming threat of exams... Nostalgic happiness.
