De la contraportada

The Rag Doll was blessed with many friends?the Wisk Broom, the Furnace Shovel, and the Coffee Pot among them?but when it came time to marry, she chose the Broom Handle. On the day of their wedding, the bride and groom were attended by a fantastical procession of well-wishers: the Spoon Lickers, the Tin Pan Bangers, the Easy Ticklers, the Musical Soup Eaters, and other whimsical characters, all marching along in a manner befitting their extraordinary names.
This tale of wedding pomp and madcap mirth comes from poet Carl Sandburg's classic book of American fairy tales, The Rootabaga Stories. Marvelous drawings by Harriet Pincus, a noted illustrator of children's books, enhance the tale. Out of print for years, the book is now available in a new edition that introduces the story and its gloriously antic art to a new generation of parade-lovers, wedding-goers, and everyone who enjoys a fanciful celebration.

Carl Sandburg (1878 1967) received three Pulitzer Prizes, one for his 1940 biography of Abraham Lincoln and two for his poetry. His classic works include The Rootabaga Stories, written early in his career for his children, from which the text of this volume was taken. Sandburg considered traditional fairy tales about knights and royalty too far removed from the experience of American children and set about devising his own folkloric tales, which unfold amid the farms and towns of the Midwest.
Harriet Pincus (1938 2001) was an author, editor, and illustrator of children's books whose works garnered a School Library Journal Best Books nod, a New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year listing, a National Book Award nomination, and an ALA Notable Book award. The Wedding Procession was the first of her publications, which include Minna and Pippin, Tell Me a Mitzi, and Little Red Riding Hood.
