This second volume of unique fairy tales includes stories originally published in 1923. Each reflects the warmth of a midwestern childhood, a zest for life, and a love of the American language that has never been equaled.

The collection features uniquely nonsensical tales set in the American Midwest, created by Carl Sandburg for his daughters. Rejecting traditional European fairy tales, Sandburg introduces memorable characters like the Potato Face Blind Man and Hatrack the Horse, showcasing whimsical plots and illogical grammar. His intent was to capture a distinctly American essence, resulting in stories that resonate with children and adults alike. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, enhancing the reading experience of these beloved tales.

A collection of stories and poems about fairies, including excerpts from James Barrie's "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens", Hans Christian Andersen's "Thumbelina", and Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market". Full-color and B&W illustrations.

"The magical combination of Mayer and Hague will make this a popular book for years to come." -- American Bookseller Pick of the Lists. Mayer's enchanted telling and Hague's shimmering paintings celebrate the legend of the unicorn. -- Publishers Weekly
