About this title

Synopsis

First edition. Eugene Field wrote bawdy verse? Yes, this wildly popular children's poet had a highly eccentric and multi-faceted personality. In a diverting and sympathetic biography, the author lifts the cloak of respectability from this creative genius and examines the real man beneath. A fascinating look at mid-nineteenth century America and the not-so-gay Nineties. Very clean, colorful dust-jacket. Illustrated. Topical bibliography, and index. x, 244 pages. quarter cloth with paper-covered boards, dust jacket.. tall 8vo..
