Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From a debut picture-book author and a #1 New York Times best-selling illustrator, a wry take on 'Why did the chicken cross the road ' that gives a whole new meaning to 'the Other Side.' Cock-a-doodle-BOO! It's punny. It's spooky. It's a meta picture book that puts a fresh spin on an old joke and elevates chicken comedy to ghastly new levels. A little spring chicken crosses the road but quickly gets flattened under a semitruck. The barnyard beasts who've gone before break the news: now that Chicken's fried--dispatched to the Other Side--Chicken has a job, an unwanted job, as a noisy troublemaking ghost. This fowl may be weak in the beak, but Chicken knows that scaring people isn't nice. There is such a thing as a friendly ghost, after all--isn't there Loaded with laughs and shivers, this Halloween-ready treat features ghoulishly funny art by the illustrator of the #1 New York Times best-selling Bad Seed series. Let the haunting begin! No chickens were harmed in the making of this book. Oswald, Pete (illustrator).…

4pp, 12mo. On four loose leaves. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with minor traces of grey paper mount along edges on blank reverses. The poem is titled 'The Dream of Fine Editors | (after the dinner to J. N. Dunn. April 23rd. 1897)'. (At the time of the dinner the Scottish journalist James Nicol Dunn (1856-1919) was on the verge of being appointed editor of the Morning Post, a position he would hold from May 1897 to January 1905.) There is no record of the poem having been published, and it is likely to have been written for after-dinner recitation only. It is 72 lines long, arranged in 18 quatrains. It begins: 'I dreamed I walked the Street of Bouverie | Where are pale lamps that mock the sable night, | "The Halfpenny John", Bradbury et cie | And also "Black & White"' | Walking, I heard a voice behind me say: | "Not vainly are my Hours and minutes spent. | I have a scheme a cert. - can't fail to pay | Three hundred pounds per cent."' The voice is that of the first of the five editors to appear to Pain in the poem, Charles Norris Williamson (1859-1920), editor of 'Black and White': 'fair, frock-coated, tall, | Sanguine, erratic, with enquiring eye | [] | 'Twas he the earliest figure of our past | Who sowed the seed whereof we reap the flow'r'. Williamson departs ('With pince-nez gleaming like an angel's smile | Went C. N. Williamson'), to be replaced by the editor of 'Chapman's Magazine of Fiction': 'O Oswald Crawfurd [(1834-1909)], courtly, consular, | With Fleet Street's maidens circling raind abait'. The third editor is an unnamed 'snappy man [] | And short and sharp barked out his little day; | In all the converse of the C. M. G. | Save that he didn't stay.' The fourth editor 'who stammered, stared with a lack-lustre eye' is also unnamed. He is a disreputable editor: 'Took his own stories, took his sister's too, | Likewise his cousin's, and his aunt's as well. | Sometimes we print them still we're forced to do - | But "Hell!" we murmur, "Hell!"' The final editor is Dunn himself: 'The one that bragged the least and did the most, | Yet left a weekly illustrated place | To take a morning post. | And as I spoke with him, the dream went by, | Through garden windows came the dawning sun | And I was Barry Pain, and knew that I | Had dined with J. N. Dunn'. The poem ends with Pain asking pardon for drinking from 'a strictly "private" bottle': 'Contrition's tear-drop on my eye-lid starts - | Partially drunk, but like the curate's egg, | "Quite excellent in parts"'. See Pain's entry in the Oxford DNB.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Blank notebook. Small quarto. Contemporary quarter leather over marbled paper boards. The boards are rubbed and worn at the edges, very good. Contains about 100 manuscript pages, including a title page, one full-page hand drawn map, and tipped-in illustration. Handwritten itinerary tipped onto front pastedown. A lively account, by one of the participants, of a journey undertaken by five rowers in a Thames rowing gig *Wild Goose* from April-May, 1856. The five Englishmen, named on the title page, journeyed from Paris to the Mediterranean (via the Seine, Saône, and Rhone Rivers), and then to Bordeaux (via the canal du Midi and Garonne River), a total of approximately 670 rowing miles, with other parts of the journey accomplished by portage overland. Much of the narrative concerns appalling weather and mishaps during the voyage, including lively descriptions and humorous asides. The exploits of these eccentric Englishmen captured the public imagination, and the Wild Goose's travels were also well-documented in the press. In later stages of their journey, landfalls were attended by large and enthusiastic crowds: " as we approached the town, the excitement became greater and greater; we were accompanied by hundreds of men and boys running along the towing path, while women and old men stationed themselves so as to see us pass when we reached the foot of a staircase of five locks the sides of the locks, the lockgates, and the windows of the overlooking houses, were simply a mass of human faces The crowd was composed of all ranks, from ladies with white parasols and Paris fashions down to peasant girls with bare feet, and half savage, mahogany colored rustics And although we could not but be flattered by such an ovation, our self-love was rather hurt at hearing that the principal cause of all this excitement was a report that we had undertaken the journey for a bet of 500,000 francs." Included in the account are extracts from the French and English press, highlighted by a wood engraving of the gig and its crew tipped-in from the popular French magazine *L'Illustration*. The hearty oarsmen achieved further fame by rescuing passengers in a carriage from drowning, an event which was reported fulsomely in the *Daily News* on May 26th. An actual, non-fictional account of the sort of English eccentricity popularized 30 years later by Jerome K. Jerome's comic novel *Three Men in a Boat*. …
