Rootabaga Stories, Carl Sandburg’s classic collection of bedtime stories, invites readers back to the whimsical Midwestern towns he created for his daughters. This 1989 illustrated hardcover preserves the poet’s lyrical, made-up words and gentle humor in 179 pages perfect for read-aloud nights or independent young book lovers.

The volume arrives with its original dust jacket—lightly scuffed and chipped from gentle shelf life—and is warmly gift-inscribed on the front endpaper, adding a personal touch for gift-givers or collectors. Inside, crisp, unmarked pages and a tight binding promise many more years of story-time magic.

Vintage picture-book seekers, Sandburg fans, and parents hunting heirloom-quality children’s literature will appreciate this durable edition of Rootabaga Stories. Secure this charming keepsake now and let the zany Balloon-Picking-Tree and other fanciful characters spark imagination in kids ages 4 to adult.
