Paul Revere's Ride (Bound for Schools & Libraries)
Paul Revere's Ride (Bound for Schools & Libraries) | Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
2 posts | 1 read
So begins one of the most stirring poems in American Literature, brought vividly to life in this breathtaking new edition by a master of picture-book illustration. Ted Rand's moonlit vision captures the swift, rhythmic gait of Longfellow's words and the drama of Revere's brave ride as he gallops from town to farm, sounding the call to rise and arm against the British. The story unfolds in memorable pictorial images: Revere's anxious wait on the shore, the two lights in the belfry of the Old North Church, Concord Bridge in the early morning hours. The mixture of history, art, and poetry results in a book as gorgeous to behold as its message is inspiring to all who love freedom.

A collage of pics from one of my trips to Boston. Me in my Birkenstocks walking the freedom trail where I got to visit the home and grave site of Paul Revere. Naturally I bought this picture book as a souvenir from one of the many gift shops along the trail.

knittedgnome My son and I did the freedom trail last month! We had been to Boston several times but had never done it from one end to the other! So much history. 6y
