Pelican Chorus: and Other Nonsense

In lighthearted, lavish illustrations, Caldecott Honor artist Fred Marcellino makes the most – and more – of the fantasy and farce of three of Edward Lear's best tales: The New Vestments, The Pelican Chorus, and that perennial favorite The Owl and the Pussycat . This sumptuous new edition, created especially for paperback, is brighter and more beautiful than ever.

"A must-have for fans of Lear-and of Marcellino." All ages. (May) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
