ROOTABAGA STORIES both Vol 1 & 2

A newly-illustrated edition of Sandburg's fanciful, humorous tales peopled with such characters as the Potato Face Blind Man, the Blue Wind Boy, and many others.

CARL SANDBURG (1878-1967) was twice awarded a Pulitzer prize, first in 1940 for his four-volume Abraham Lincoln: The War Years and again in 1951 for Complete Poems. Before becoming known as a poet, he worked as a milkman, an ice harvester, a dishwasher, a salesperson, a firefighter, and a journalist. He wrote the "rootabaga" stories for his young daughters at the beginning of his long and distinguished literary career.
