Carl Sandburg: Adventures of a Poet Hardcover - 2003 - 1st Edition
by Penelope Niven; Carl Sandburg; Marc Nadel (Illustrator)
The first children's illustrated biography of Carl Sandburg, with spreads describing his years as a railcar-hopping hobo, soldier, travelling salesman, political activist, husband and father, musician--and all the while--poet.
Summary
Hobo. Soldier. Reporter. Musician. Husband and father. Storyteller. Historian.
Carl Sandburg was all of these things. But he distinguished himself above all as the Poet of the People, a traveler and dreamer who carried poems, stories, and songs in his heart--and shared them with the many people he met in his travels. Seamlessly joining scenes from Sandburg's life, highlights from his poems and prose, and historically detailed illustrations, this thorough and thoughtful portrait turns biography into its own adventure.
A time line and notes about the illustrations supplement the text.
