Excerpt from The Stars: A Slumber Story

As the children"s poet, Eugene Field will long live in literature and in the public heart. What he accomplished in the field of human achievement as a journalist, as poet and romancer, is as naught compared to his undying fame as the noblest bard of childhood. I knew him during a period of fifteen years, in Denver, in Kansas City, and in Chicago - a period in which he expressed in printed words those marvellous songs of childhood which found genesis in his kindly heart and active mind.
