Sandburg, C: Rootabaga Stories

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.
