Seller's Description:
New York. 1981. Viking Press. 1st of This Particular Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket With a Few Small Pieces Missing from the Bottom Front Edges. 0670546135. Illustrated by Kevin W. Maddison. 32 pages. hardcover. Cover art by Kevin W. Maddison. keywords: Children's Books. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Kevin W. Maddison brings his unique, richly imaginative, and colorful vision to two of Edward Lear's charming nonsense poems. In the first, the King and Queen of the Pelicans, who live in an Egypt of golden contentment and nightly revelry, throw a garden party for their daughter, Dell. The King of the Cranes falls wildly in love with Dell, ‘On seeing her waddling form so fair With a wreath of shrimps in her short white hair' and woos her with a crocodile's eggs and fish tarts. She, unable to resist, vows to marry him. Attended by a cloud of exotic birds, they fly off to live happily forever on ‘the great Gromboolian plain. ' The Quangle Wangle Quee, a strange, lonely creature who lives in his Crumpetty Tree, virtually invisible beneath his vast hat ' 'a hundred and two feet wide With ribbons and bibbons on every side, ' is the central character of the second tale. Gradually his life brightens up as birds, insects, animals, and strange beasts of all shapes and sizes come to build their homes in his hat. The tale closes on the cheerful scene of an enormous party dancing to the flute of the Blue Baboon, by the light of the Mulberry Moon. Kevin W. Maddison's magnificent water colors make this volume a delightful companion to the poems of Edward Lear he has already illustrated in The Pobble Who Has No Toes and The Courtship of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bö. inventory #21201.
