ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S WORLD

written and illustrated by Genevieve Foster


About the Author

"Nothing is more critical, I believe, than that children growing up in these critical explosive days should be given an understanding of American history as a part of the history of the world. Every year this grows more urgent, as increasingly rapid communication integrates world events more closely and the impact of foreign affairs on our own lives becomes more serious and immediate." Genevieve Foster wrote this nearly fifty years ago. It resonates with perhaps more truth today. Her books are timeless and her writing style is clear, concise and fluid with her greatest strength as a storyteller being her ability to bring her readers right into the minds and times of her characters.  It is this emphasis on the interaction of events and people - the horizontal approach to history - that has brought Mrs. Foster's WORLD books special acclaim. 

No boring history here...have fun as you learn about all the intersections in history that we don't often see ~ great for homeschoolers!  I have several other titles from this series listed separately and do combine shipping on multiple wins to save you money.

 
The 1940 Newbery Honor title, Abraham Lincoln's World sets American history into a world context. Wonderfully illustrated throughout!  Short, beautifully written stories explain what was going on during the years of Abraham Lincoln's birth, childhood, employment as a storekeeper and lawyer, and finally during his years as president. Discover that when Abe Lincoln was a boy romping the woods of Kentucky, Thomas Jefferson was completing his eighth year as president, George III reigned in Great Britain and Napolean was about to meet his Waterloo. By the time Lincoln was old enough to help his father chop wood, Harriet Beecher was reading anything she could get her hands on, Charles Darwin was collecting toads, crabs and shells, and the impoverished boy Dickens was working in a shoe blacking factory in London. Ages 9 & up.
 
Excellent condition inside and out!  Copyright 1944 - later printing from 1967.  Hardcover with nice dust jacket under mylar, ex-library with the usual ID markings, card pocket, etc.  No mentionable shelf wear - inside 347 pages look virtually unread - crisp, clean and tight to strong binding - no writing or rips!
