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
Great
Such a cool story definitely worth the time
Good novel -- bad ebook
Encoding problems on several important passages...worth the free read, but try to find another copy...
A Dry Classic
Understandably important to the history of the novel, this mythic story is never-the-less dry.
