About the author and works: Eugene Field (1850-1895) was an American author known for his humorous essays and children's poetry. Interested in many subjects and unable to decide what to do with his life, Field attended three colleges-Williams College, Knox College, and University of Missouri-tried his hand at acting, law, and journalism, and traveled Europe before meeting his wife and becoming city editor for the St. Joseph Gazette in St. Joseph, Missouri. He wrote and edited for several newspapers, including the Denver Tribune. From his Tribune column, "Odds and Ends," he gathered comic paragraphs to form his first book, The Tribune Primer (1882), journalistic joking in the tradition of American humorists Artemus ward and Josh Billings. These squibs served as apprentice work for his "Sharps and Flats" column in the Chicago Morning News (renamed the Record in 1890). Her Field satirized the cultural pretentions of the newly rich Chicago meat barons. A Little Book of Western Verse (1889), drawn in part from his column, included poems in Pike county dialect after the manner of Bret Harte and John Hay, verses for children in an affected Old English dialect, translations of Horace, and the well-known "Little Boy Blue" and "Dutch Lullaby" ("Wynken, Blynken, and Nod"). Field's collected works in 10 volumes were published the year after his death, and two more volumes were added in 1900. He died of a heart-attack at 45. (Britannica)
