"One may read and appreciate the book for its scholarship and the cultural insights it offers on the pre-World War One era, but I suspect that most readers will delight in the emerging and appealing love story of Carl and Lillian. In our rather nihilistic age, "The Poet and the Dream Girl" acts as a kind of moral and philosophical tonic, making one believe again in all the possibilities for art, love, and social reform so passionately and beautifully espoused in these pages." - Dan Guillory, "Illinois Books.

"Originally published in six volumes, Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln was called "the greatest historical biography of our generation". Sandburg distilled this work into one volume that became the definitive life of Lincoln." --Descripción del editor.
The collection features uniquely nonsensical tales set in the American Midwest, created by Carl Sandburg for his daughters. Rejecting traditional European fairy tales, Sandburg introduces memorable characters like the Potato Face Blind Man and Hatrack the Horse, showcasing whimsical plots and illogical grammar. His intent was to capture a distinctly American essence, resulting in stories that resonate with children and adults alike. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, enhancing the reading experience of these beloved tales.
In this outstanding collection of seventy-seven poems, Sandburg eloquently celebrates the themes that engaged him as a poet for more than half a century of writing- life, love, and death. Strongly lyrical, these intensely honest poems testify to human courage, frailty, and tenderness and to the enduring wonders of nature.
