Other noteworthy authors include Tolkien's friends and colleagues Wilfred Rowland Childe (contributing two poems) and E.V. Gordon (two poems), and his student A.H. Smith (two poems).

Review
"The pictures, brightly tinted, of Mr. W.R. Childe's fancy, the dialect verses of Mr. A.H. Smith, who knows his Yorkshire, and a couple of riddles in Saxon by Mr. J.R.R. Tolkien are perhaps the outstanding things in this unpretentious anthology" (Times Literary Supplement of July 12, 1923).
