WYNKEN, BLYNKEN AND Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe– Sailed off on a river of crystal light Into a sea of dew . . .
So begins Eugene Field’s lovely bedtime poem, which tells of three wee fishermen who sail up to the stars, and a boy who imagines it all before he drifts off to sleep. Field’s timeless text has lulled generations of little listeners into dreamland, and this version, complimented by Giselle Potter’s magical illustrations, is perhaps the most enchanting—and the closest to Fields’ own vision—of all. A brilliantly illustrated picture book with poetic verse features three fishermen who jumped into a sailboat made from a wooden shoe and sailed off into the stars. A classic lullaby poem about three fishermen who try to catch the stars in nets of silver and gold.
