------
Field first started publishing poetry in 1879, with his poem "Christmas Treasures" that later appeared in his collection A Little Book of Western Verse. Over a dozen volumes of poetry followed, starting in 1889,[8] and he became well known for his light-hearted poems for children, among the most famous of which are "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" and "The Duel" (which is perhaps better known as "The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat"). Equally famous is his poem about the death of a child, this week's poem, "Little Boy Blue".
