Paul Revere's Ride
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Monica Vachula, Jayne E. Triber. Boyds Mills Press, $17.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-1-56397-799-2
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.
