Abraham Lincoln, they say, has been more written about than anyone else except Jesus Christ, but this book is different. It is written from a foreigner's point of view. It is biographical in form, but is littered with descriptive passages, personal reactions and asides. Jan Morris has been everywhere Lincoln went, from his birth-place in Kentucky via Springfield and Gettysburg to his death-room in Washington D.C., and the book reveals as much about her own evolving responses as it does aboutLincoln's developing character. She ends the book a loving admirer - not so much of the 16th President of the United States as a politician or a moulder of all our histories, but of Father Abraham as a man of poignant kindness and an artist.
