When Popo and Fifina was first published in 1932, it marked the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership between Harlem Renaissance writers Langston Hughes and Arna Bontemps. Greeted with universal approval, and praised by the The New York Times for its `simple home-like atmosphere', Popo and Fifina is the story of two small children who move from the Haitian countryside to a new house in a town by the sea. Now, 60 years later, its natural appeal is enhanced by our awareness of its place in history. This story is not only a glimpse of life and times long past but also stands as an early African-American classic and as a milestone in the history of literature for children.
