Whenever I'm in Chicago, a visit to the Lincoln Park Zoo with the grandkids is nearly always on the "To-Do" list. Built on the grounds in 1922 is this beautiful sitting area and gorgeous memorial to Poet, Eugene Field. Three of his poems are featured here, including "The Rock-a-Bye Lady", "Wynken, Blynken, And Nod " and "The Sugar-Plum Tree".
Thank you for the comments and thoughts about "The Sugar-Plum Tree" with my photo of Marshmallow, The Raccoon. For those not familiar with the poem or Eugene Field before now, I'm delighted I could make the introduction!
