About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Verses by Frank H. Craig. Read in English by MaryAnn. Frank H. Craig (1859-1945) was superintendent of Wethersfield (Ill.) schools from 1903 to 1918. He later moved in Vermont and wrote prose and poetry about the rural communities in which he lived. These poems reflect the author's love for nature and the people and memories that brought meaning to his life. The reader wishes to thank the Kewanee Historical Society for providing her access to this book. (Summary by MaryAnn)
