  • Poetry for Young People: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    Frances Schoonmaker, Chad Wallace

    Paperback (Sterling Children's Books, April 6, 2010)
    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.

  • American Genius: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    Libby Hughes, Marian Carlson

    Paperback (iUniverse, Inc., Dec. 7, 2006)
    “Longfellow’s magnificent poems have resonated for decades with readers young and old from all walks of life across the nation. Hughes and Carlson present the story of his fascinating and inspiring life and legacy with great skill. Their insights will be of interest to all who enjoy the poetry of this extraordinary giant in our history and want to learn more about him.”—Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts “A lively and profound account of Longfellow’s life for young adults.”—Senator Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia “This timely volume will introduce to today’s young adult readers an American Poet who was unforgettable to former generations.”—Janet E. Scinto, Houghton Library, Harvard University “I found it engaging, well researched, and well thought out.”—Catherine Cote, Librarian, Lexington, MA The life story of Longfellow is full of drama, romance, and tragedy. The poet was born in a small seaport village in Maine. There, he began his dreams, gazing across the vast ocean to Europe. His dreams came true in a very unlikely profession—poetry. His fame reached far and wide, drawing him into the highest circles of society. Though sorrow came with his success, he continued to produce some of his most eloquent works, still quoted 200 years after his birth. Such poems as Paul Revere’s Ride, Tales of a Wayside Inn, Evangeline, A Psalm of Life, The Courtship of Miles Standish, and The Song of Hiawatha are some of his more memorable works.

  • Poetry for Young People: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    Frances Schoonmaker, Chad Wallace

    Hardcover (Sterling, Dec. 31, 1998)
    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: the vital energy of "The Village Blacksmith," the urgency of "Paul Revere's Ride," and the sorrow of "The Wreck of the Hesperus." An opening essay tells of Longfellow's life: his childhood in Maine, his family history (the Longfellows played a major role in New England politics), his success as a professor of foreign languages, and his often-tragic personal life. More than just a biography, it reveals the inspiration for many of Longfellow's most popular works. Nearly 30 poems appear, most in their entirety, including "The Arrow and the Song," "The Rainy Day," "Woods in Winter," "The Forest Primeval" (from "Evangeline"), "Hiawatha's Childhood" (from "Song of Hiawatha"), "A Psalm of Life," and the abolitionist "The Witnesses." As always in this series, supplementary word definitions give children the knowledge they need to fully understand the poems. 48 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.
