John Greenleaf Whittiek, of Quaker birth in Puritan surroundings, was born at the homestead near Haverhill, Massachusetts, December 17, 1807. Until his eighteenth year he lived at home, working upon the farm and in the little shoemakers shop which nearly every farm then had as a resource in the otherwise idle hours of winter. The manual, homely labor upon which he was employed was in part the foundation of that deep interest which the poet never ceased to take in the toil and fortunes of the plain people. Throughout his poetry runs this golden thread of sympathy with honorable labor and enforced poverty, and many poems are directly inspired by it. While at work with his father he sent poems to the Haverhill Gazette, and that he was not in subjection to his work is very evident by the fact that he translated it and similar occupations into Songs of Labor. He had two years academic training, and in 1829 became editor in Boston of the American Manufacturer, a paper published in the interest of the tariff. In 1831 he published his Legends of New England, prose sketches in a department of literature which always had strong claims upon his interest. No American writer, unless Irving be Tcepted, has done so much to throw a graceful veil of poetry and legend over the counof his daily life. Essex County, in Massachusetts, and the beaches lying between vburyport and Portsmouth, blossom with flowers of Whittier splanting. He made euse of the homely stories which he had heard in his childhood, and learned afterward om familiar intercourse with country people, and he used invention delicately and in rmony with the spirit of the New England coast.

The Complete Poetical Works of John Greenleaf Whittier Classic Reprint John Greenleaf Whittier Books Reviews
This book was wounderfully written. The poems give good detail, and will paint vivid pictures in your head.
John Greenleaf Whittier is one of the best American poets in my opinion. His writing is very down to earth and humble, yet it still manages to capture the beauty of simplicity in life through very carefully plotted lyrical lines. One of my favorite poems is The Barefoot Boy and I would recommend it to anyone who likes poems about nature and innocent childhood. This is a great book of poetry and it is very timeless. Next to the Bible I think this is my favorite book so I would highly recommend it to you.
Was not what I expected.
Great reading. Worth every penny.
