Children instinctively love poetry, with its appealing mixture of rhythm
and rhyme. And Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, with his suspenseful
narrative verse, deceptively simple structure, and powerful images of
19th-century United States, makes an especially suitable subject for the
critically acclaimed Poetry for Young People series. Brilliant,
specially commissioned artwork brings to life all the atmosphere, drama,
and emotion of his writing including: the vital energy of "The Village
Blacksmith," the urgency of "Paul Revere's Ride," and the sorrow of "The
Wreck of the Hesperus." This handsome volume of Longfellow poems is now
available in paperback - at a great price and with a bold new cover
design - to bring the love of classic poetry to a broad new audience.
