Aptly referred to as the children's poet, Longfellow wrote poems, many of which read as adventure stories that have been cherished by young readers and listeners through the years. Now a new generation of readers can read and enjoy some of America's most often recited poetry. This new issue of the original, updated with a more contemporary jacket and beautifully illustrated by some of the best known American artists of the late nineteenth century, contains eight poems popular with children:
- The Wreck of the Hesperus
- The Village Blacksmith
- Evangeline
- The Song of Hiawatha
- The Building of the Ship
- The Castle-Builder
- Paul Revere's Ride
- The Building of the Long Serpent
