The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Illustrator Christopher Bing brings more than just pictures to Longfellow's classic poem. In this beautiful book you will find letters, maps and other things that collectively describe the world as it was.

Read the poem out loud. What does the rhythm remind you of? Why did the poet choose to make it sound that way?
