Stunning,

This review is from: Last of the Mohicans A Narrative of 1757. Illustrated by N.C. Wyeth (Hardcover)
At least once a year I like reading a "certified" classic. This year, "The Last of the Mohicans" with illustrations by N.C. Wyeth flew off the shelf and into my hands. Here's the deal: see the movie with Daniel Day Lewis as Hawkeye, and Wes Study as Magua, and a lot of other good actors beside. The movie will give you a feel for the scenic beauty of colonial America, and the physicality of the characters, It's breathtaking. Then, read the book. You'll be in for lots of surprises as the story takes twists and turns that Michael Mann (the director) couldn't possibly keep up with, violence that takes your breath away, and a layer of humor that the movie totally missed. And the language - oy! Beautiful english that waltzes around the page.
I know this is supposed to be one for the kids, but, it's adult fiction that's absolutely stunning. This is also a nice heavy volume with big print, and beautiful, albeit very romantic, illustrations

This review is from: Last of the Mohicans A Narrative of 1757. Illustrated by N.C. Wyeth (Hardcover)
When I was 8 years old this was the book, at that time from the local library, that turned me on to reading. I have been looking for a copy in good condition, with the original cover and Wyeth endpapers for the last several years.
The book was as described by the owner. I am pleased with my purchase.
