Legends of Paul Bunyan
$19
This item is currently sold out.
| Before television, or radio, there was the imaginations of men in the American lumber camps and it was they who gave birth to the most legendary American folk hero. This timeless and profusely illustrated classic - first published in 1947 - is a rousing celebration of America's greatest folk hero by some of America's greatest luminaries including James Stevens, W. B. Laughead, Robert Frost, and Carl Sandburg. We love how this book is broken down: Paul the Baby, Paul the Man, Food and Kitchen, Paul's Pals, Paul's Great Inventions, etc., and don't fear there is even a chapter devoted to Babe, the big blue ox. Paul Bunyan is a Best Made superhero if there ever was one! |

| "Who made Paul Bunyan, who gave him birth as a myth, who joked him into life as the Master Lumberjack, who fashioned him forth as an apparition easing the hours of men amid axes and trees, saws and lumber? The people, the bookless people, they made Paul and had him alive long before he got into the books for those who read." - Carl Sandburg, from “Who Made Paul Bunyan?” |
