About this product

Product Information

The whimsical, sometimes melancholy stories, which often use nonsense language, were originally created for his own daughters. Gimme the Ax decided to let his children name themselves. "The first words they speak as soon as they learn to make words shall be their names," he said. "They shall name themselves." When the first boy came to the house of Gimme the Ax, he was named Please Gimme. When the first girl came she was named Ax Me No Questions. And both of the children had the shadows of valleys by night in their eyes and the lights of early morning, when the sun is coming up, on their foreheads. And the hair on top of their heads was a dark wild grass. And they loved to turn the doorknobs, open the doors, and run out to have the wind comb their hair and touch their eyes and put its six soft fingers on their foreheads.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Heart of America native fairytales

    These two books joined here, are meant to be read out loud. Sandburg was a poet of spoken description, and the stories are FUN to read. Kids from 2 to maybe 7 or so are really likely to respond, since there is a strong element of just plain silliness along with the repetition that might remind you of folksong verse and chorus. And the imagery is drawn so directly from the great expanse and spread of the American Prairie you can feel the prairie wind in your face and the sun on your neck. Some of the stories, especially in the last half, "Rootabaga Pigeons," wlll have some real appeal to teens for the utterly unironic unsarcastic sentiment. Though it's pre TV it;s not "pre-modern" what with the story of The Two Skyscrapers Who Decided to Have a Child. Bytheway, you do know what ...
