Description
I must admit I had never heard of this poem until I opened the pages of this resource. The delightfully executed black and white detailed illustrations that are included add a fun flair to the narrative poem, making it even more entertaining to read. But I think the element in this publication that added the most meaning for me, is the nearly six-page prologue by Martin Gardner. Gardner's original prologue came out in 1967 in The Annotated Casey at the Bat, and while it seemed a bit tedious at times, overall, it gave added meaning to the poem. 62 pgs, pb. ~Judy
Publisher's Description of Casey at the Bat (Dover Children's Classics)
A blend of the absurd and the tragic lies at the heart of this immortal baseball ballad, an authentic masterpiece of American humor. This grand edition steps up to the plate with more than fifty bold pen-and-ink drawings that perfectly capture the poem's ironic tone and comic spirit. From its 1888 debut in the San Francisco Examiner, "Casey at the Bat" quickly caught on with a public that was embracing baseball as the national pastime. By the turn of the twentieth century, everyone was familiar with the Mudville Nine and its vainglorious slugger. An Introduction by Martin Gardner traces the remarkable history of a poem that has inspired songs, movies, and cartoons. This new edition of a folkloric favorite will delight baseball fans, nostalgia buffs, and lovers of Americana. A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative.
