Murder by Death

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.

Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung in the Year 1888

Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung in the Year 1888 (Caldecott Honor Book) - Ernest L. Thayer

A phenomenal book.  The artwork and the level of detail in the creation left me in awe.  My regard for sports in general is lukewarm at best, but I love, adore, baseball.  When I was little and my parents couldn't find me, they went straight to the baseball field at our local park and I'd be there in the stands, so Casey at the Bat tugs all the right heartstrings for me and I can't imagine a better presentation for this bit of American poetry.

 

Awesome.
