Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung in the Year 1888

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Christopher Bing. Setting the poem when it originated, Bing creates a fictional edition of the Mudville Monitor to report Casey's humiliation. Scratchboard drawings re-create gazette etchings, and the yellowed, crumbling pages of this manufactured artifact look authentic. Small collages of advertisements and baseball memorabilia (authentic and fabricated) decorate the pages. Such a mixture of fact and fiction begs for discussion and sharing.
