Volume 11:Works for Children and Young Adults: Poetry, Fiction and Other Writing. Edited and with an introduction by Dianne Johnson. Fall 2003.

A century after his birth in Joplin, Missouri, Langston Hughes is, in a sense, coming home. The University of Missouri Press is proud to announce the publication of The Collected Works of Langston Hughes, a compilation of the novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, and other published work by one of the twentieth century's most prolific and influential African American authors. The series will make available Hughes's most famous works as well as lesser-known and out-of-print selections, providing readers and libraries with a comprehensive source for the first time.

Many people don’t realize that Langston Hughes enjoyed writing for children. In fact, he wrote poems, biographies, short stories, plays, and picture books for this audience that was very, very special to him. It’s very exciting that all of his writing for children will be available for you, anew.
