Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 
Tales of a Wayside Inn 

Henry Wadsworth ‘Longfellow’s Tales of a Wayside Inn’ takes readers on a journey through a collection of beautifully written poems. Set in the tavern of the Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts, a group of friends gather to share stories in poetic form. Based on real people, each character tells their tale, weaving together a rich tapestry of narratives that capture the spirit of the time. From the preludes to the finales, Longfellow’s masterful storytelling brings the inn and its guests to life, with interludes that connect the tales and introduce the narrators. A classic work of American literature, ‘Tales of a Wayside Inn’ continues to enchant readers to this day.
