The biography delves into the life of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, highlighting his special bond with children in the late 19th century. Through letters from young admirers, readers gain insight into their lives and the affection they held for the poet, who was affectionately called "the children's poet." The book captures memorable gestures, such as schoolchildren gifting him a chair made from the wood of a tree featured in his poem. Accompanied by selected poems and family photographs, it paints a vivid picture of Longfellow's enduring legacy and connection to youth.
