Product Description:
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.

Rating: - Childhood Revisited
Not to be missed. "Rootabaga Stories" and "Rootabaga Pigeons" are the most wonderful, magical flights of imagination that could ever be put on the printed page. Forget digital animation! Get back to a good book!
Delight in Maud and Miska Petersham's illustrations! Yes, they are dated, but take in the detail - there is so very much animation in their illustrations, the characters (check out Blixie Bimber or the Potato Face)just jump off the pages - no need for Flash!!!
