Longfellow's tribute to the famous revolutionary hero begins with the stirring cadence that American schoolchildren have committed to memory for over a century. Now illustrator Ted Rand brings these vivid and beautiful lines to life as dramatically as the poet's immortal message inspires."The clatter of hooves seems to echo in Rand's evocative paintings of that famed midnight ride...." --Kirkus reviews

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Longfellow's well-known poem never appeared to better advantage: Rand has created a rich rendition of the Revolutionary landscape."--Publisher's Weekly

"The richly colored, romantic watercolors duplicate Longfellow's imagery, often quite literally, and effectively reinforce the narrative quality of the poem."--School Library Journal 

"Enjoy the famous narrative poem recreating Paul Revere's midnight ride in 1775 to warn the people of the Boston countryside that the British were coming. It never fails to entertain and makes a wonderful read-aloud."--Children's Literature 

About the Author

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was the most popular and admired American poet of the nineteenth century. Born in Portland, Maine, and educated at Bowdoin College, Longfellow’s ambition was always to become a writer; but until mid-life his first profession was the teaching rather than the production of literature, at his alma mater (1829-35) and then at Harvard (1836-54). His teaching career was punctuated by two extended study-tours of Europe, during which Longfellow made himself fluent in all the major Romance and Germanic languages. Thanks to a fortunate marriage and the growing popularity of his work, from his mid-thirties onwards Longfellow, ensconced in a comfortable Cambridge mansion, was able to devote an increasingly large fraction of his energies to the long narrative historical and mythic poems that made him a household word, especially Evangeline (1847), The Song of Hiawatha (1855), The Courtship of Miles Standish (1858), and Tales of a Wayside Inn (1863, 1872, 1873). Versatile as well as prolific, Longfellow also won fame as a writer of short ballads and lyrics, and experimented in the essay, the short story, the novel, and the verse drama. Taken as a whole, Longfellow’s writings show a breadth of literary learning, an understanding of western languages and cultures, unmatched by any American writer of his time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paul Revere's Ride - the original poem with illustrations for children
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2021
Verified Purchase
I memorized this classic poem when I was in 3rd grade and still remember a lot of it. Although the poem is not 100% historically accurate, it's still a great poem and one that I think every child should at least hear whether or not it is memorized. This book has great illustrations to bring Paul Revere's story to life. The part we now know today is not quite correct is that Paul Revere was the one who arranged for the lanterns to be hung in the church tower - he knew already whether the British soldiers were traveling "by land or by sea" and the signal was not for himself, but as a precaution in case Revere could not get through to sound the alarm - with that signal, if he didn't get through himself, someone else could "sound the alarm." In the poem, it is as if Revere is waiting on the other side to see what the signal will be, when he already knew. But it's still a good poem, and he did make that famous ride to warn others in the back country that the soldiers were on their way. I love the poem, and this is nicely illustrated. I bought this for my nephew who is in 4th grade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful illustrations - great for Pre-K and older kids
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is an absolutely beautiful book. My daughter loved it when she was 4 and (one year later) still loves it. She asks me to read it to her often. When she brought it to school and the Pre-K teacher read it to the class, the kids liked it so much that they wanted to keep it. This book is a great way to introduce the poem and the Revolutionary War to young children. The illustrations are very engaging. The map and historic notes are very helpful and interesting (to children and adults) and encourage discussion with little ones. Obviously, if you plan to read the book to young children, you'll need to provide some historic context before you read it.
