About this audiobook

"The Crescent Moon", written in 1913, is a wonderful collection of lyrical poetry and poetry in prose by India's most well-known poet, Rabindranath Tagore, whose book "Gitanjali" shot him to fame in the west.  Originally written in Bengali, the poet himself translated the book into English. Most of the poems in "The Crescent Moon" focus on the love in a mother-child relationship and its development over the years as the child grows up, with a lot of nature imagery sprinkled in the verses. There are a lot of beautiful visual references to his homeland, India.
