Charming Illustrations

[Gene C]

Nice children's book of about 89 pages, with 14 very nice, full page, color illustrations.
The book is written as though Lincoln's sons Willie and Tad are telling the story.
It begins with Willie's trip to Chicago with his father, and ends with Tad talking about his trip to Richmond with his father at the close of the war.
It does not cover the assassination or time after that, but it does cover Willie's death.
Well written, several places it will make you smile, with several scenes that are very touching.
My favorite illustration is following the death of Willie, Tad is lying in bed awake, while an exhausted father is sleeping with his arms around him.

I purchased a hardcover, like new copy, for less than $3, and it's a bit smaller than a standard size book. Not much difference in price between hard and soft copies. The reviews on Amazon are good. I really enjoyed it, and think most adults looking for a short story and not a biography will enjoy it to. At the price, it was well worth it.
