This edition gives you Longfellow's whole poem, from the opening question \"Should you ask me, whence these stories?\" to Hiawatha's departure into the sunset, with a short plain-English note before every canto so you always know where you are in the story. The lines are short, unrhymed and full of repetition, which makes them slow to skim and easy to read aloud, a canto at a sitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is something a screen cannot give: a real book you hold, write in, and hand on.
