Lincoln And His Boys

By Rosemary Wells
Illustrated by P.J. Lynch

An intimate, moving portrait of Abraham Lincoln through the eyes of his children.

Abraham Lincoln, America's most revered president, was also a father. Here is Lincoln as seen by two of his sons in the years 1859-1864. With the war raging and the Union under siege, despite his own sadness and searing personal tragedy, Lincoln was always generous and loving to his sons.

  • Author Rosemary Wells and illustrator PJ Lynch present a meticulously researched biography that gives us a Lincoln not frozen in time, but accessible and utterly real.
  • From the incomparable children's author Rosemary Wells and master artist PJ Lynch.
