by Robert Frost (poet), Gary D. Schmidt (editor), and Henri Sorensen (illustrator)
Twenty-five poems to introduce Robert Frost to young people. The selections are arranged by the seasons, and Sorensen's handsome watercolor illustrations capture the feel of the New England landscape without in any way trying to provide literal images for the poetry. There's an excellent biographical essay, and at the bottom of each page, Schmidt provides a brief note on some of the possible ways to read the lines.
An ideal way to introduce young readers to the marvels of poetry, the Poetry for Young People series opens up the world of wonderful word images by pairing classic verses with beautiful illustrations, and by providing helpful definitions and commentary.
Part of the Poetry for Young People series. Fully illustrated in colour, with an introduction to the poet, and index. 48 pages.
