Charles Scribner's Sons. 1901. Volume 1 & 2. 8vo. 346 pp. Illustrated with B&W plates. Red cloth boards with gilt title to spine. Slight fading to spine. Ex libre sticker and envelope to front and rear paste downs. Tissue covered frontispiece of Eugene Field to Volume 1 and fold out poem to Volume 2. Pages clean and binding tight. Near fine This book features a biographical account of the American writer Eugene Field (1850-1895), best known for his children's poetry and humorous essays. There were two Fields the author and the man and it is the purpose of this study to reproduce the latter as he appeared to those who knew and loved him for what he was personally for the benefit of those who have only known him through the medium of his writings. In doing this it was far from the author's intention and farther from his friendship to disturb any of the preconceptions that have been formed from the perusal of Field's works as these are the creations of something entirely apart from the man whose genius produced them.
