 This whimsical collection of twelve poems by the famous Dutch author, first published sixteen years after her death, tells of a fairy tale writer who draws from his pond of ink, furniture that comes to life, three greedy robbers who steal the mood, and cleanliness-hating Belinda. The bouncing meter, rollicking rhyme, clever wordplay and zany characters are reminiscent of Silverstein and Prelutsky. Bold expressive mixed-media artwork has a retro look. mjw |
