Fitz-Gerald, S.J. A.: The Zankiwank & the Bletherwitch (ill-Rackham). v1. 12 Jun 2017
The Zankiwank and the Bletherwitch, An Original Fantastic Fairy Extravaganza
By S. J. Adair Fitz-Gerald (1859–1925) Illustrated by Arthur Rackham (1867–1939) First published in 1896. Text is in the public domain in countries where copyright is “Life+90” or less, and in the USA. Illustrations are in the public domain in countries where copyright is “Life+70” or less, and in the USA. * * * This children’s book is delightful nonsense in prose and verse, filled with fantastical creatures, absurd situations, amusing word-play, and no moral whatsoever. (Its main fault, if fault it be, may be that some of Fitz-Gerald’s verse is rather too sweetly sentimental to suit the humorous tone of the book.) The text is charmingly illustrated with 40 line drawings by Arthur Rackham, showing the first hints of the fantastical style for which he was to become known. This was Rackham’s first commission to illustrate an entire book. Meet a few of the characters: Spoiler:
