About This Item
The second volume of Carl Sandburg's joyous fairy tales, "Rootabaga Stories, Part II," includes stories about Big People Now and Little People Long Ago; about the Letter X and How It Got into the Alphabet; about Four Boys Who Had Different Dreams; about Bugs and Eggs; about Hatrack the Horse, Wild Babylonian Baboons, and Bozo the Button Buster - each packed with a zest for life and a love of the American language and experience that have never been equaled. The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet wrote these tales for his daughters when they were growing up. A midwestern childhood is shown as full of warmth and wonder. These stories have graced our own children's lives and been part of our literary heritage since 1923.
In this handsome new edition, Sandburg's stories are illustrated in full color for the first time. Michael Hague, America's preeminent illustrator of Children's books, has created a distinctive full-page plate for each of the tales.
"Rootabaga Stories, Part II" completes the set of Sandburg's exuberant stories for children - the first, and some say the only, truly American fairy tales.
Synopsis
