What Our Customers Say...

Description

Decorative Binding, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce

'The Song of Hiawatha' was first penned in 1855, and is an epic relating the fictional adventures of an Ojibwe warrior called Hiawatha and his tragic love for a Dakota woman.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was an American writer and teacher, known for 'Paul Revere's Ride' and 'Evangeline', as well as being the first American to translate Dante's 'Divine Comedy'. His poetry was particularly lyrical, drawing inspiration from mythology, and he was a particularly versatile poet, exploring all sorts of forms.

With a decorative binding with detail to the cover and spine.
