The ballad of John Henry is as much a part of American folklore as Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill. The battle of man versus machine-for which the victorious John Henry gives his life-is one most schoolchildren know. Sanfield tells the legend anew, incorporating familiar tidbits with splendid poetic images. Thornton's diffused black-and-white pictures capture the spirit of the tale-moody and ominous in places, full of humor in others. A triumphant book about a genuine hero.Sanfield, Steve is the author of 'Natural Man: The True Story of John Henry - Steve Sanfield - Paperback - REPRINT' with ISBN 9780879238445 and ISBN 0879238445.
