Paul Revere's Ride: The Landlord's Tale

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Charles Santore. As Longfellow's narrative poem opens, a rapt mid-nineteenth-century audience at the historic Wayside Inn listens to an old storyteller relate the tale of Revere's famous ride. The accompanying illustrations in a somber palette are all action and angle: dramatic, varied perspectives put readers right in the middle of the events. This stirring version of an American classic gallops right along.
