A collection of poems written by Tagore primarily to entertain children, The Crescent Moon moved many contemporary writers, including Andre Gide and Juan Jimenez. Tagore believed children were a symbol of hope, and of the future, and The Globe in its 1913 review, described these poems as ‘a revelation more profound and more subtle than that in the Gitanjali’.
