P. J. Lynch.
Willie and Tad Lincoln narrate fictionalized episodes of their lives as the young sons of first the candidate then the newly elected president. Richly colored illustrations display the familiar careworn face of a man who was a father to both his sons and to a nation. The accessible text combines historical facts and real people with invented dialogue and imagined scenes.
