Dedicated to his only daughter, this collection gathers Eugene Field’s short prose: fables in which a brook, an oak tree and a little vine sleep under winter snow, Christmas legends, fairy fancies, and sketches of childhood, old age and memory. They range from whimsy to sentiment, often within a page, in the voice of the newspaperman who wrote ‘Little Boy Blue’.
A gentle collection for readers who enjoy Field’s verse and the sentimental storytelling of the 1890s. Download the free EPUB.
