American New England poet, teacher, light farmer Robert Frost saw early but moderate success as a poet while raising a family in Derry NH. Moving north to Bethlehem, then Plymouth NH. The family had travelled to London, England in 1912, publishing 2 early collections there, "A Boy's Will" and "North of Boston" before returning home in 1915. Thompson writes with detail based on extensive research and a long relationship with the poet, being asked by him to serve as his biographer. As a professor, Thompson also wove literary criticism into his career, giving completeness and academic perspective to this work.
