About the Author:
Natalie S. Bober is an award-winning biographer and historian who has written about Thomas Jefferson, Abigail Adams, and William Wordsworth, among others. She is the author of A Restless Spirit: The Story of Robert Frost. She lives in Port Washington, New York.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 6 Up-- Over the years, the public's perception of Robert Frost has evolved from New England bard to national institution. The image of him, the octogenarian struggling to read his poetry in the bright winter sunlight at John F. Kennedy's inauguration, is forever imprinted on the American mind. Yet Bober successfully portrays the four-time Pulitzer Prize winner as a very human schoolboy, husband, father, farmer, and teacher. She stresses Frost's determination and Yankee spirit, but also gives glimpses of his darker side--the anger, the depression, the suicidal bent. The clear and straightforward text is interwoven with poetry, and readers witness the birth of "New Hampshire" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." A revision of Bober's earlier title (Atheneum, 1981; o.p.), this edition has far more visual appeal. The book originally had 8 photographs; this one has 44 black-and-white illustrations--mostly photographs of Frost and his family--that are generally of good quality. A worthy addition to biography/literature collections. --Pat Katka, San Diego Public Library
