Hiawatha

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's classic The Song of Hiawatha weaves together the beautiful oral traditions of the American Indian into a great epic poem. In this excerpt of some of its most lyrical verses, artist Susan Jeffers illuminates Longfellow's hypnotic account of Hiawatha's childhood. Hiawatha is rich in imagery and detail, the exquisitely rendered paintings introduce readers to one of America's favorite poems. Author: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Illustrator: Susan Jeffers. Paperback; 32 pages.
