PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Newly abridged by Timothy Meis, James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans comes to life under the paintbrush of N.C. Wyeth, with illustrations originally published in 1919. The artist offers readers a close-up view of the French and Indian War, in paintings such as British colonel Duncan's struggle against a Huron warrior or the Mohican Chingachgook similarly fighting off another Huron warrior in the clearing of a wood. Wyeth's paintings also accompany Meis's adaptation of Daniel DeFoe's Robinson Crusoe, due out in February.
Customer Reviews
A classic
The Last of the Mohicans is a great tale. The language usage is sometimes a little tricky to follow, but it’s interesting to see how things have changed since this was written. All said, an enjoyable book with engaging characters & a good storyline. Of course it was hard not to compare with the 1992 Daniel Day-Lewis movie, but I think both hold their own.
