ROBERT FROST (POETRY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE) EDITED BY GARY D. SCHMIDT ILLUSTRATED BY HENRI SORENSEN

Robert Frost (Poetry for Young People) satisfies in every way. The book contains a three-page overview of the poet's life, 29 poems selected and arranged around the seasons of the year, brief and apt commentaries on each, and a useful index of titles and subject matter. The realistic watercolor illustrations capture the delicate beauty of a New England spring and the glory of fall. while still suggesting the around-the-corner chill of winter, a disquiet echoing throughout much of Frost's poetry.
