(Overstreet, 51st ed. p351.). Humorous verse accompanies the cartoons drawn by Clare Briggs. Writing in a vernacular American voice, Wilbur Nesbit (1791-1938), a Midwest newspaperman, poet, and humorist, captures the speech and emotions of childhood with his short verse. Briggs (1875-1930) was a cartoonist during The Platinum Age of the American Comic Book (1883-1938). A Mid-west native, his career started as a newspaper sketch artist; later he authored several successful cartoon strips. In this publication, his drawings show the playfulness and exuberance of children's lives. In the preface, the printer addresses the new book owners, "Oh, Skin-Nay! YOO HOO! Here's a reg'lar book about our Days of Real Sport. I betcha your pa an' ma will be as tickled with it as you an' me is. Gee! It's got pitchers in it that seems like they wuz drawed right on th' spot by that feller Briggs an'ever' pitcher has a reg'lar little pome writ along with it by that feller Nesbit an' both o'them wuz reely boys oncet, just like any other boy. An'it's got up in a book by them fellers, the P.F. Volland Company an' it's dedducated to All Us Fellers!".
