«Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening» is the illustrated poem by Robert Frost and Susan Jeffers, published by Dutton Books in hardback (32 pages, in English).
A traveller stops with his horse before a snowy wood on the darkest evening of the year and watches how the snow covers the trees. The horse shakes its bells, puzzled by the halt. The poem contrasts the calm of the winter landscape with the obligations that await; each verse is accompanied by rural New England scenes.
The poem was originally published in 1923. This 2001 edition revives the 1978 illustrated version with renewed design and three new double-page spreads.
Recommended for children aged 4 to 8 and for sharing with family as Christmas reading.
Robert Lee Frost was an American poet. Known for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech, Frost frequently wrote about settings from rural life in New England in the early 20th century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes.
