    About this ebook

    One of the most renowned American poets of all time, Robert Frost (1874-1963) made plainspoken men and women eloquent philosophers on the human condition. Selected Poems of Robert Frost collects more than 100 poems by this master. It includes the full contents of Frost's first three volumes of poetry -- A Boy's Will, North of Boston, and Mountain Interval -- and other beloved poems like "Mending Wall," "The Road Not Taken," and "The Death of the Hired Man."

    This beautifully designed volume, with illustrations by Thomas Nason (1889-1971) is a testament to the beauty of Frost's writing and will be a treasured addition to any home library.
      I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.

    Robert Frost

    Robert Frost (1874-1963) was an American poet. Born in San Francisco, Frost moved with his family to Lawrence, Massachusetts following the death of his father, a teacher and editor. There, he attended Lawrence High School and went on to study for a brief time at Dartmouth College before returning home to work as a teacher, factory worker, and newspaper delivery person. Certain of his calling as a poet, Frost sold his first poem in 1894, embarking on a career that would earn him acclaim and honor unlike any American poet before or since. Before his paternal grandfather’s death, he purchased a farm in Derry, New Hampshire for Robert and his wife Elinor. For the next decade, Frost worked on the farm while writing poetry in the mornings before returning to teaching once more. In 1912, having moved to England, Frost published A Boy’s Will, his first book of poems. Through the next several years, he wrote and published poetry while befriending such writers as Edward Thomas and Ezra Pound. In 1915, after publishing North of Boston (1914) in London, Frost returned to the United States to settle on another farm in Franconia, New Hampshire, where he continued writing and teaching and began lecturing. Over the next several decades, Frost published numerous collections of poems, including New Hampshire: A Poem with Notes and Grace Notes (1924) and Collected Poems (1931), winning a total of four Pulitzer Prizes and establishing his reputation as the foremost American poet of his generation.

      Pastoral poems by one of the greatest American poets. This collection brings together poems from three early books, plus a collection of poems from miscellaneous sources in the last section. The poems range from short to quite long (several pages) story poems; some of his most famous, such as The Road Not Taken, Mending Walls, and Fire and Ice, are included in this collection. A good introduction to Frost's work.
