The Children's Longfellow Told in Prose Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, D Alexander, Juliet Sutherland, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Children's Longfellow" by Doris Hayman is a collection of prose adaptations of the poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, written likely in the early 20th century. This work aims to introduce children to classic poetry by presenting Longfellow's narratives in an accessible format. The adaptations include tales such as "Hiawatha," "The Village Blacksmith," and "Evangeline," among others, offering young readers the opportunity to engage with themes of love, bravery, and cultural heritage through rich storytelling. At the start of the book, the narrative opens with an introduction to Longfellow's lasting impact on American poetry, detailing his fascination with both the beauty of the natural world and human emotion. The first story chosen, "The Building of the Ship," depicts a master shipbuilder and his apprentice embarking on the ambitious task of constructing a majestic ship intended for both beauty and strength. The tale is imbued with themes of love, aspirations, and craftsmanship, as the protagonist also plans to marry the builder's daughter, intertwining personal and professional ambitions. The opening not only sets the tone for the collection but also establishes the narrative style that balances lyrical content and engaging prose for young readers.
