Hiawatha (Picture Puffins)

Description

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's classic "The Song of Hiawatha" weaves together the beautiful oral traditions of the American Indian into a grand epic poem. In this excerpt of some of its most lyrical verses, artist Susan Jeffers illuminates Longfellow's hypnotic account of Hiawatha's boyhood. Rich in imagery and detail, the exquisitely rendered paintings introduce readers to one of America's favorite poems.
