Publisher's Note Longfellow's tribute to the famous revolutionary hero begins with a stirring cadence that American school children have committed to memory for over a century. Now illustrator Ted Rand brings these vivid and beautiful lines to life with rich, luminous paintings that are as dramatic as the poet's immortal message.
Industry Reviews Longfellow's well-known poem "never appeared to better advantage," said PW, noting that "Rand has created a rich rendition of the Revolutionary landscape." A Spanish-language reprint will be issued simultaneously ($4.99 -05576-0). Ages 5-up. (Mar.) Lopate
