Longfellow has been fitly called the children's poet. Many of his
poems have from their very first appearance been favorites with
youthful readers, and for many thousands of children he is the poet
best beloved. It has been, therefore, the hope of the publishers
that this volume, containing eight of the most popular of these
poems, illustrated in color by some of the best known American
artists of the present day, will find a ready welcome at the hands
of young folks and their parents.
