The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
This book is, in a word, charming. It tells the true story of the life of Abraham Lincoln, from his birth to his presidency, and is educational and informative, without being dry and boring as many history books tend to be. Children as young as 4 will be interested, as well as kids through the teen years. Simply worded, but not babyish, brilliantly illustrated, but not unreal. Youngsters will learn and retain much about this beloved President.
First written and illustrated in 1939, it was expanded in 1957. Most of the book focuses on Lincoln's early life.
