Robert Frost: An Adventure in Poetry, 1900-1918

In this first paperback edition, Lesley Lee Francis, granddaughter of Robert Frost, brings to life the Frost family’s idyllic early years. Through their own words, we enter the daily lives of Robert, known as RF to his family and friends, his wife, Elinor, and their four children. The result is a meticulously researched and beautifully written evocation of a fleeting chapter in the life of a literary family. This enchanting story of the Frost family’s life together makes more poignant the unforeseen personal tragedies that would befall its members in later years.
