Day, Clarence: The Crow's Nest (Illustrated). v1. 09 July 2012
By the author of “God and My Father,” “Life with Father,” “Life With Mother,” “This Simian World,” etc.
This collection is full of funny! Twenty-seven essays address their subjects with wit and biting satire (some do take a more serious tone); several pieces of light poetry are added to the mix. Lavishly illustrated with 58 line drawings by Mr. Day. Among many other subjects, you will discover what cows are really meditating about, learn the back-story of the Prometheus myth, find out what would happen if Americans emmigrate to Atlantis, and gain insight into mediaeval knighthood. ~~~ The Crow's Nest received a favorable review in The Nation magazine by the prominent U.S. academician Carl Van Doren; a revised edition with new essays, poems and drawings was published after Day's death under the title After All. (Wikipedia) ------ An excerpt: Quote:
And an interesting short quote: Quote:
58 line drawings by the author, all centered. Decorative font for chapter-heads and drop-caps. I hope you get some chuckles from this one.
