Now he gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children -- misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds. His lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and the tragedy of these dark yet simple beings -- hopeful, hapless heroes who appeal to the ugly outsider in all of us, and let us laugh at a world we have long left behind (mostly anyway).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n9780688158385|JB|From a log cabin in Kentucky to the White House, the life of Abraham Lincoln is an inspiring saga of courage and dedication.
