First edition stated Junior Literary Guild issue of this beautifully illustrated tale of Abraham Lincoln printed with the pioneering stone lithography techniques of the D’Aulaires. Awarded the 1940 Caldecott Award this famed book was noted for its striking illustrations which evoked a hand-drawn look. However the printer decided to quit storing the stones and the D’Aulaires were asked to redraw the illustrations so those copies printed after 1957 were sadly far inferior to the original printings.

He portrayed friendly and wise gentlemen in many films of the 1930s and 1940s. Among his roles were Sir Joseph Banks in Mutiny on the Bounty 1935 and Mr. Brownlow in Oliver Twist 1948. Harry Stephenson Garraway was born to British parents in Grenada British West Indies and educated in England. He started acting in his twenties. He appeared on British and American stages and made his Broadway debut in 1901 playing the messenger in A Message from Mars. In the following decades he performed in more than 30 Broadway plays. Stephenson made his film debut in 1917 and appeared in a few silent films but made his mark mostly as an elderly man in sound films. Between 1931 and 1932 he appeared in the successful Broadway play Cynara with over 200 performances. He came to Hollywood for the film version of Cynara starring Ronald Colman and with Stephenson reprising his role of John Tring. In the same year he played the tycoon C.B. Gaerste in Red-Headed Woman Leslie Howard's father Rufus Collier in The Animal Kingdom and Doctor Alliot in A Bill of Divorcement. In 1933 he appeared as Mr. Laurence in Little Women. He specialized in portraying wise dignified and friendly British gentlemen in supporting roles. He appeared overall in 90 films from 1917 to 1951. He often played historical figures like Sir Joseph Banks in the Oscar-winning adventure film Mutiny on the Bounty 1935 and Florimond Claude Comte de Mercy-Argenteau in Marie Antoinette 1938. Stephenson worked with film star Errol Flynn in the films Captain Blood The Charge of the Light Brigade The Prince and the Pauper and The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex often as Flynn's paternal friend and superior. He portrayed Sir Thomas Lancing in Tarzan Finds a Son! in 1939 and Sir Guy Henderson in Tarzan and the Amazons in 1945. He seldom played dark figures; among the exceptions was the snobbish Mr. Bryant in Mr. Lucky in 1943. Stephenson also appeared in literary adaptions for example as the friendly lawyer Havisham in Little Lord Fauntleroy 1936 and as Mr. Brownlow in David Lean's film adaptation of Oliver Twist 1948. He made his last film in 1949 but appeared in two television series in 1951 before the end of his career. In 1950 after finishing his role of Cardinal Gaspar de Quiroga in the play That Lady Stephenson retired from the stage.
