LINCOLN AND HIS BOYS by ROSEMARY WELLS

In the bicentennial year of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, this is a family portrait from the perspective of two of his sons covering a period before and after his election as US president. It is well researched and captures the social history of the period and life in the White House with child’s eye detail. PJ Lynch’s meticulous, realistic images reveal the close, warm relationship Lincoln had with his boys. Any child with an interest in history, America, and particularly its presidents will be fascinated.
