I won this on an ebay auction the other day. I have an older, very beat-up copy of it. This one is PRISTINE! i don't think anyone has ever even flipped through it. Many of the pages are still uncut and connected. I never dreamed of finding a bunch of old Maxfield Parrish pictures in such condition. This is the first edition - 1904.
Known As 'The Poet Of Childhood'..Born In 1850 In St. Louis..He Passed In 1895 In Chicago.
He Also Wrote A Few Humoristic Essays.

Thanks Cisum. i bought it primarily for the maxfield parrish prints throughout. they look like they've never seen the light of day.
Fabulous find, what a beautiful book. Parrish illustrations to Field's poems must be lovely, he is one of my favorite poets "Little Boy Blue" is so touching
Thank you Newfld. i'll check out his poems.
