Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
First published in 1978, this picture-book presents Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" with beautiful illustrations by Susan Jeffers.
"For this special edition with a new design, trim size, and three new spreads, Susan Jeffers has added more detail and subtle color to her sweeping backgrounds of frosty New England scenes. There are more animals to find among the trees, and the kindly figure with his "promises to keep" exudes warmth as he stops to appreciate the quiet delights of winter. The handsome new vellum jacket will attract new and old fans as it evokes a frost-covered windowpane. This celebration of a season makes an ideal holiday gift for a child, a teacher, or a host."
