Excerpt from The Hoosier Book: Containing Poems in Dialect
When James Whitcomb Riley was a very small boy, too young to read, he fell in love at first sight with a book, and like all intense lovers he at once desired to possess the object of his affection. By thrift and careful hoarding he got together pennies equal to the price, and the little red and gold poetry book fell into his eager, outstretched, freckled hands.
