Synopsis"I'm sure I never said to myself: 'Now, Jim--why don't you sit down and write a poem.' It's still a mystery to me, but I think probably it's something that happened by accident--like a lot of things have happened in my life." So begins this delightful collection of poetry by America's best-loved actor, Jimmy Stewart. Interspersed with vivid recollections and charming illustrations, the poems document a life that isn't too different from yours or mine. Jimmy Stewart won the hearts of generations of movie viewers with a confused innocence and stammering delivery that made his acting seem genuine and effortless. Somehow he managed to make the boy next door into a national hero. Now, in Jimmy Stewart and His Poems, the consummate Everyman shares tales from his everyday life. From fishing trips and dog stories to a hilarious account of a photo safari where the camera was lost to a hungry hyena, the poems are related in Jimmy Stewart's inimitable voice and are enlivened with charming illustrations. The book confirms what we all expected--that the real Jimmy Stewart is every bit as endearing as the film characters he's portrayed. Jimmy Stewart and His Poems is a perfect gift, one that fans will treasure as much as Jimmy Stewart's timeless performances., -I'm sure I never said to myself: 'Now, Jim--why don't you sit down and write a poem.'

It doesn't get better than Jimmy Stewart.
I love and admire Jimmy Stewart and I love his poems. The poems are very clever and well written. I bought this book after seeing Jimmy Stewart read one of his poems on a rerun of Johnny Carson. I only wish there had been more poems in the book. I would have loved to have been able to enjoy more of his poetry.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Jimmy Stewart's poems
This book by the late actor Jimmy Stewart is a bit shorter than I expected but not disappointing. The poems you may have heard him tell on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson are here except the one about the lake. The camera, the dog Beau and others are here. There's no table of contents but each poem is preceded by a story about the poem and how it came to be.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Picture on book jacket disappointingly different than pictured. Not a photo of Jimmy just a sketch.
The picture on the book jacket is disappointingly different than pictured. Not a photo of Jimmy just a sketch. The book itself is charming. We loved the 3 poems and the setup explanation for each of them that it contains..Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
