Rootabaga Stories is a 1922 children's book by Carl Sandburg, featuring whimsical, American-style fairy tales set in "Rootabaga Country," a fantastical version of the Midwest with zigzagging railroad tracks, pigs in bibs, and unique characters like the Potato Face Blind Man and corn fairies. Written for his own daughters, the stories are known for their nonsensical language, rural flavor, and departure from traditional European fairy tales, creating a uniquely American folklore.
