Book description
Nancy Willard's A Visit to William Blake's Inn isn't just a children's book-it's a whispered invitation into a world where ink flows like honey and every shadow holds a secret. The audiobook version, read with such tender precision, makes Blake's visionary inn feel startlingly real. You don't just hear the poems; you feel the creak of the inn's wooden floorboards underfoot as the clock chimes, taste the sticky sweetness of the honey the starlings sip from a cup, and hear the soft shush of a moth's wing against a windowpane.
Willard, a Newbery winner whose work bridges childhood wonder and adult depth, channels Blake's spirit without mimicry. Her poems for "innocent and experienced travelers" bloom with life: a bird with a feather for a head asks, "Do you know the way to the sun?" while a clockmaker's son whispers secrets to the moon. The audiobook's voice-warm, unhurried, like a friend sharing a secret by candlelight-draws you in. You lean closer as the narrator murmurs about the inn's "old, kind, and very tired" door, its knocker shaped like a bird. You feel the coolness of the stone walls, the weight of a child's hand held tight in yours.
What's extraordinary is how the poems work on two levels. Kids hear a playful inn with a clock that tells time in bird calls and a fox who wears a top hat. Adults hear echoes of Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience-the quiet ache of a moth's longing, the courage in a child's "I'll go with you," the way a single line like "The moon is a silver coin dropped in the dark" holds both wonder and sorrow. The audiobook's pacing lets these layers unfold gently, like petals opening. You hear the sigh of the wind through the inn's garden, the rustle of a paper boat on a stream, and suddenly, the line "We are all travelers, and the inn is the only place to rest" lands with quiet power.
Willard taught at Vassar and wrote for adults too, and it shows-this isn't simple verse. It's a world where a teacup holds a whole sky, where a single feather can carry you to the edge of a dream. The audiobook's gentle rhythm makes you forget it's a recording; you're there, at the inn's table, sharing a slice of cake with a mouse who reads poetry aloud. It's the kind of listening that lingers long after the last word fades-the sound of a door closing softly behind you, leaving you with the taste of honey and the certainty that magic is always just a poem away.
