Riassunto

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was the most popular poet in America in the latter half of the 19th Century, known and beloved for his lyrical, epic poems, often involving legends and myths. In 1908 many of his most popular poems were collected in The Children's Own Longfellow, including such classics as Paul Revere's Ride, Evangeline, The Wreck of the Hesperus, and The Song of Hiawatha. Generations of American schoolchildren grew up memorizing and reciting Longfellow's rhythmic, musical stanzas. This new edition brings the complete classic back into print for a new generation of readers. Now you can share the best, most accessible, most memorable works of one of America's most important and beloved writers.
