This book contains a collection of Keats' letters, written over four years. With extraordinary candour and self-knowledge he gives us his experience of almost everything that can happen to a young man between the ages of 21 and 25.

'Lamia' is a mix of narrative and lyrical poetry, exploring the mythical story of Lamia, a beautiful serpent-woman who falls in love with a mortal man.

Over the course of his short life, John Keats (1795-1821) honed a raw talent into a brilliant poetic maturity.
