"The Toy Shop - A Romantic Story of Lincoln the Man" tells of a bereaved President Lincoln in the midst of civil war. He feels he is failing his country, and doesn't know what to do about it. As he is about to take a walk through the city to meditate over his problems his young son accosts him and asks that he pick up some toy soldiers for him. Lincoln remembers a toy shop he has passed before, and stops in for the soldiers. There he befriends the shop owner, Schotz, an invalid soldier from Napoleon's army. Schotz tells the President his stories of the Great Emperor, and how Napoleon had a way of ensuring unfailing loyalty from his men, walking in and among them. He said Napoleon had a way of just standing, as if he could not be dislodged. From these encounters President Lincoln gleans great pearls of wisdom to aid him in his efforts to pull the country out of civil war. Lincoln and Schotz have many meetings where the two men become friends exchanging 'war' stories together and even finding time to play with the toys.

March 5, 2012 | Edited by W. L Beyer, Jr. | As I have a copy of this book in my personal library, and as it is a particular favorite of mine, I am well acquainted with it. I added the new book cover image of Lincoln in the Toy Shop, anonymously. I added the years it was set, another tag, and a description. |
