Description

NY: Knopf, 2001. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Bonnie Christensen. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. Woody Guthrie spent his life putting into words and music what the rest of America was thinking. He roamed from coast to coast and captured the despair of those displaced by the Great Depression and the dust bowl, eulogized workers, and celebrated the great natural beauty of America. This is an introductory biography presented as a picture book with a brief lyrical text and powerful, hand-tinted, woodcut-like illustrations by the author. It includes the complete lyrics to “This Land Is Your Land” and excerpts from his other songs. Record # 381339
