Originally published in 1923, the second volume of Carl Sandburg's beloved Rootabaga Stories includes tales about "Big People Now" and "Little People Long Ago." The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet wrote these American fairy tales for his children while they were growing up in the American Midwest. This paperback edition matches the first volume in size and format and contains the color and b&w illustrations of Maud and Miska Petersham.

Originally published in 1922, the Rootabaga Stories was written by one of America's most beloved folk chroniclers, Carl Sandburg. He wrote these stories for "people from 5 to 105." "I knew that American children would respond, so I wrote some nonsense tales with American foolin' in them," Sandburg later explained after the tremendous success of the stories. This reproduction of the first edition includes the illustrations of Maud and Miska Petersham.

This is a book of rare distinction. Curiously, this classic biography of America's most tragic First Lady by one of America's most distinguished biographers and poets has long been out-of-print. Both the author and the subject deserve greater historical attention, and what emerges from the book is a haunting portrait of an enigmatic life, written with a style and sensitivity that is both sympathetic and unflinching.

Superb collection of poems by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. This collection of Sandburg's finest and most representative poetry draws on all of his previous volumes and includes four unpublished poems about Lincoln. The Hendricks's comprehensive introduction discusses how Sandburg's life and beliefs colored his work and why it continues to resonate so deeply with americans today. Edited and with an Introduction by George and Willene Hendrick.
