I'm not really one for poetry, but I truly enjoyed that read. I couldn't find the poem in a book at the library, so I just read it online since it's now public domain. :)

Priscilla is an interesting character. Although written by a male, Victorian author, and set in the Puritan Plymouth Bay Colony, she seems to me to be the one in control.

I was vaguely familiar with this story thanks to my mother and an episode of Wishbone back in the day, but I'm glad I finally read it in its entirety. I enjoyed reading it aloud on a cold, rainy Sunday afternoon and was quite impressed with some of Longfellow's insights into the female mind. 3 stars for its predictability and historical inaccuracies, but I love the verse.

Pre-review: That was definitely a poem someone wrote.

I'm sure there is a lot of context I don't have because that was very silly.
