Eugene Field, Sr. (1850 - 1895) was an American writer, best known for his children's poetry and humorous essays. Field first started publishing poetry in 1879, when his poem "Christmas Treasures" appeared in A Little Book of Western Verse. Over a dozen volumes of poetry followed and he became well known for his light-hearted poems for children, among the most famous of which are "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" and "The Duel" (which is perhaps better known as "The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat"). Field also published a number of short stories, including "The Holy Cross" and "Daniel and the Devil."In this book: Love-Songs of ChildhoodA Little Book of Western VerseSongs and Other VerseSecond Book of VerseHoosier LyricsChristmas Tales and Christmas VerseThe Mouse and The Moonbeam
