ROBERT FROST: His Life, His Poems, His Land; [Scarce "Study Course for Advanced English" that is essentially USIA propaganda].

Washington, DC: United States Information Agency, 1965. First edition.

Includes the script for the USIA companion film, "Robert Frost," a 30-minute color film meant to be used as an audio-visual aid for students. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, including a still from the film showing a group of young men on a college campus in a discussion led by Frost. Also includes a biographical sketch, teacher's guide; and bibliography of Frost's works. 8.25 x 10.5" stapled paperwraps with color photos of "Robert Frost on his Vermont Farm" on front and "Winter in Vermont" on back; 95 pages including poetry indexes (first line & title).
