Description - Rootabaga Stories by Carl Sandburg
"Glorious for reading aloud," exclaimed The New York Times Book Review of these lighthearted tales by the great American poet Carl Sandburg. Influenced by the author's taste for folk ballads and nonsense verse, the captivating stories are populated by corn fairies, circus performers, and such memorable characters as Poker Face the Baboon, Hot Dog the Tiger, Gimme the Ax, and the Potato Face Blind Man. AUTHOR: Carl Sandburg received three Pulitzer Prizes, two for his poetry and one for his 1940 biography of Abraham Lincoln. Before achieving literary fame, Sandburg's occupations included milkman, ice harvester, dishwasher, salesman, and fireman. His classic works include the Rootabaga Stories, written early in his career for his children.
