Edizione: first of the edition from the american poets series with stunning color wood-engravings by boyd hanna. prepared and edited with a commentary by louis untermeyer, who writes of longfellow's poetry: "it expresses a kindliness which is spontaneous, and a homeliness which is winning because it is so straightforward. it retains its popularity because it is unaffectedly clear, unashamedly tender, and unshakably serene."
