With their gay drawings and charming text, the authors have illumined another epoch in our history — the story of how The Star Spangled Banner was written — and made it a lively and unforgettable event. 

It is a thrilling little tale told with such delightful humor that the smallest child will appreciate the meaning of the stirring words of our country’s beautiful song and will gain an accurate and vivid impression of its historical background.
