Hiawatha

Longfellow`s poem `The Song of Hiawatha` has long been a favourite classic. In this stunning picture book, Susan Jeffers has illuminated some the poem`s most lyrical verses depicting Hiawatha`s childhood. Rich in detail, here are the lapping waters and whispering pine trees, the dancing fireflies and swiftly running reindeer of Longfellow`s hypnotic text. And here is the young Hiawatha, learning the names of the stars and the secrets of the animals, preparing to become a leader of his people.
