Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A crafty cat hides behind a feathered mask to entrap inattentive birds; a monkey in a leather flying suit and helmet is all set to join then in the clouds. Such extraordinary images depict a highly idiosyncratic view of the animal kingdom while containing a number of literary and artistic references, to the surrealist Salvador Dali and the nonsensical Edward Lear. There are also several examples of a cheerful pastiche, Venus a Jersey cow emerges, Botticelli-style, from a scallop shell, a flying fish in harness reaches for the sky with a Captain Ahab figure stoically holding the reins. James Marsh's brilliant colours, draughtmanship and meticulous attention to details of all kinds are to be found throughout this magical array of characters from the natural world: a benevolent polar bear on his ice-floe, well wrapped up against the Arctic cold; a schoolmasterly owl, equipped with spectacles and quill; a determined turtle, its dynamic swimming action duplicated by its flotilla of young; a resplendent parrot, attended by brightly coloured insects; and that rare specimen, the spotted lion, either an exotic cross-breed or else highly infectious .This bizarre bestiary is accompanied by the artist's own whimsical verse, ranging from the broadly comic to the strange and surreal. All his birds and beasts look well worth protecting and will give animal lovers of all ages a great deal of amusement and delight. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
