About this title

Review

"Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's classic 'Paul Revere's Ride' is newly interpreted with illustrations by Monica Vachula. Throughout, detailed oil paintings are framed against a textured backdrop, which looks like antique linen. Smaller inset illustrations of the two lamps, or the 'startled ... pigeons' appear beneath each stanza. Paintings of New England livestock and a closing portrait of Revere are especially well rendered."--Publisher Weekly
