Hardcover Brilliant, specially commissioned artwork brings to life all the atmosphere, drama, and emotion of Longfellow's writing: the vital energy of The Village Blacksmith, the urgency of Paul Revere's Ride, and the sorrow of The Wreck of the Hesperus. More than just a biography, this book reveals the inspiration for many of Longfellow's most popular works. Full color. Grade 4-8-Schoonmaker's careful selection and meticulous editing, and Wallace's luminous full-color paintings (some dramatic, some serene, and all in harmony with the verses featured) will make Longfellow's work more approachable to children. The poems range from lengthy works (e.g., Hiawatha's Childhood) to ballads (e.g., The Wreck of the Hesperus) and shorter pieces (e.g., The Arrow and the Song). Biographical information and some background on the selections are included. Unfamiliar terms are discreetly defined on the pages where they occur. A slim, attractive introduction to a classic American poet. 48 265x220x10 mm
