...good time." Biographer Randall (Mary Lincoln), widow of the late Lincoln scholar J. G. Randall, brings a mother-hen style to her bundle of anecdotes that will wholly please only devoted parents and memorabilia collectors, but the book does light up Lincoln as father, and what it means to grow up in the shadow of a great...
