About this product

Product Information

Stephen Fry's The Ode Less Travelled provides us with a witty and entertaining guide to the mysteries of writing poetry. If you can speak and read English, you can write poetry. The trick is knowing where to start. Stephen Fry, who has long written poems, and indeed has written long poems, for his own private pleasure, invites you to discover the incomparable delights of metre, rhyme and verse forms. Whether you want to write a Petrarchan sonnet for your lover's birthday, an epithalamion for your sister's wedding or a villanelle excoriating the government's housing policy, The Ode Less Travelled will give you the tools and the confidence to do so. Brimful of enjoyable exercises, witty insights and simple step-by-step advice, The Ode Less Travelled guides the reader towards mastery and confidence in the Mother of the Arts.

    Is this the dullest book in the world?

    This is probably the dullest, most pretentious book I've ever read. It's a showcase for Fry to boast about his knowledge of the history and mechanics of poetry, laden with snobbery. Think of the most boring teacher you ever suffered at school and you'll have a pretty good idea of the tone that he adopts. He ever sets his readers homework! Seriously. Be warned: Anyone thinking of having a go at writing verse for themselves will think twice after reading this unappealing drivel. Stephen Fry admits he is not a published poet. It's easy to see why.

    Brilliant. Well done, Stephen, again!

    Engrossing, extremely helpful, amusing, what else is new? I'm learning a lot, and very grateful.

    Not the Road for this Ode Bloke

    It's not what I expected it to be. Too dry, too uninteresting - definitely not Stephen's best book, sadly.
