Description

Vintage 1951 hardcover has some fraying, fading, and the spine is loose. The pages are clean and in good condition. The binding is secure.

This delightful omnibus edition collects two of Carl Sandburg’s beloved Rootabaga books – “Rootabaga Stories” and “Rootabaga Pigeons” – into one charming volume. Sandburg, a celebrated poet and writer, crafted these whimsical tales as an homage to the American tall tale tradition, drawing inspiration from his childhood in Illinois. With a unique blend of folklore, fantasy, and Americana, these stories transport readers to the imaginary Rootabaga Country, where animals talk, magic abounds, and everyday objects come to life. Sandburg’s playful language and rich imagery have delighted generations of readers, making this a treasured addition to any collection of classic children’s literature or Americana. Despite its well-worn exterior, this vintage copy retains the charm and magic of Sandburg’s timeless tales, offering a glimpse into the literary and cultural heritage of early 20th-century America.
