About This Item
This is a first edition (1910) of The Story of Hiawatha, Adapted from Longfellow, by the American author Clayton Edwards. It is illustrated by Maria Louise Kirk (1860-1938), who illustrated L.M Montgomery's books, and the first US edition of Alice in Wonderland.
The first part of the book discusses aspects of Ojibwe life, as it was known (or thought) to be at the time. That is followed by The Song of Hiawatha, the famous epic poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Edwards used the poem as the basis for his observations in the first part of the book.

Brown boards with a painting on the cover and gold print on the spine.
7 1/4" x 9 1/2" x 1 3/4"
