Carl Sandburg had three daughters and he loved telling them
irrepressible, zany tales. He disliked the European fairy stories
that involved kings and princesses and thought American tales
should be more relevant to the world around his children, but of
course made rather fantastic. So the stories are populated with
trains on zig-zag tracks, skyscrapers, animals wearing bibs, corn
fairies, not to mention the Village of Cream Puffs which floats in
the wind. They have become firm favourites for generations of
children. This edition of Rootabaga Stories features the original
black and white illustrations by Maud and Miska Petersham.
