"Since Woody Guthrie wrote 'This Land Is Your Land' in the 1940's, it has become one of the most familiar and best-loved folk songs in America...featuring the complete lyrics and musical notation, as well as a biographical scrapbook"--Cover.
"The paintings for this book were done in oil on canvas. The painted borders were inspired by notch carvings found in traditional 'tramp art' - boxes, picture frames, and mirror frames crafted by tramps, hoboes, miners, and lumberjacks in the early to mid-1900s."
Summary This well-known folk song is accompanied by a tribute from folksinger Pete Seeger, the musical notation, and a biographical scrapbook with photographs.
