Snow-Bound: A Winter Idyl (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) by John Greenleaf Whittier

3.0

This was a long poem, originally published as a small book. I first attempted to read it via audio, but soon found that it was going too quickly. This poem is about a family in post-Civil War Massachusetts reminiscing around a fireplace after a significant snowstorm. It has a nice, cozy feel about it and tells a little of what life was like at that time.

I think that it's best read under similar circumstances, slowly, in the winter, when you are cozy by a fire or under a warm blanket.
