In paying a tribute to the mingled mirth and tenderness of Eugene Field-the poet of whose going the West may say, "He took our daylight with him"-one of his fellow journalists has written that he was a jester, but not of the kind that Shakespeare drew in Yorick. He was not only, -so the writer implied, -the maker of jibes and fantastic devices, but the bard of friendship and affection, of melodious lyrical conceits; he was the laureate of children-dear for his "Wynken, Blynken and Nod" and "Little Boy Blue"; the scholarly book-lover, withal, who relished and paraphrased his Horace, who wrote with delight a quaint archaic English of his special devising; who collected rare books, and brought out his own "Little Books" of "Western Verse" and "Profitable Tales" in high-priced limited editions, with broad margins of paper that moths and rust do not corrupt, but which tempts bibliomaniacs to break through and stea

Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes, and Nod is a little head, And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies is a wee one's trundle-bed. Eugene Field's classic bedtime poem--about three children's adventures sailing in a wooden shoe--is brought to life with Johanna Westerman's vivid illustrations. "Westerman's minutely detailed watercolors depict a Dutch landscape. The luminosity of the moonlit sea is captured in muted shades of blue that create a soothing mood for the dramatic verse."--School Library Journal "Westerman captures the tone of the poem in a fittingly traditional way. . . . a pleasing rendition of an old favorite." --Booklist "Westerman's inventive design elements provide a soothing accompaniment for the familiar text, a staple for bedtime reading."--Publishers Weekly
Reading, reading and reading. In the 21st century, the computer is king and the cell phone is its only competitor. For those who have ever interviewed members of the new generation, the results of not reading books or anything else of a serious nature show through the blank stares of their emptiness. This extraordinary book was published in 1896 and tells the story of a book collector, Eugene Field, who spent his entire life in the pursuit of collecting books. According to the author, collectors may be grouped in three classes: Those who collect from vanity, those who collect for the benefits of learning and those who collect out of veneration and love for books. Mr. Field no doubt never gave a thought to those of us who somehow accumulate books with no idea why or how they ever end up filling the shelves of our domiciles. He could not be expected to fathom the mind of the average 'accumulator' who wants to toss them in the trash but feels too guilty for unknown reasons to do so. This marvellous book is impossible to put down for it is obviously a work of love about a passion for ideas told by one who knows how to speak to the ages. The book comes with a money-back guarantee -- anyone who doesn't wish to keep the book can return it no questions asked for a full refund.

Eugene Field was a popular humorist and newspaperman often called the "Poet of Childhood." Born in St. Louis, Missouri, to Roswell M. and Frances Reed Field, both of New England ancestry, Field claimed two birthdates-2 and 3 September 1850-in later years so that if friends forgot him on the first day, they could remember him on the second. His father was an attorney and attained some fame after serving as lawyer to Dred Scott, a slave who fought for his freedom, before Scott's trial went to the Supreme Court. Field's mother died when he was six, and he and his younger brother Roswell were sent to Amherst, Massachusetts, to be cared for by their paternal cousin Mary Field French until their maturity.
