In the roaring 20's, Philadelphia's Mainline was at its height. Model T's, bobbed hair, elegant garden parties, fox hunts on private estates, lunch and tennis at the Merion Cricket Club--all were the rage. Immersed in this, yet ahead of her time, was a free-spirited young woman by the name of Lysbeth Body Borie. In 1928, J. B. Lippincott of Philadelphia published Lysbeth's first book, Poems for Peter. These poems were written about her three-year-old son, at play on the Borie Estate. During its 82 year history, Poems for Peter has sold over 29,000 copies. With the cooperation of the Borie family, I. Murphy Lewis has republished this charming books in its entirety from the original copper plates, rekindling the hearts of those who have treasured the tales of young Peter and now igniting the hearts of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
