Editorial Reviews
Review
"Told many times, but never more delightfully, the story with its sumptuous illustrations appears in an unusually attractive format . . . Esther Forbes and Lynd Ward have united to make a distinguished book." -- Review
All we've seen is the text for this simplification of the author's scholarly Paul Revere. No pictures. No suggestion as to the type of book it is to be. So we really are only announcing it here, as a book that provides an authentic and competent text, factually sound, but written with no flair for the junior reader. However, we shall reserve judgment until we see the finished book. (Kirkus Reviews)
