Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-19 00:00:00 Ross Lam Somehow, I had never even heard of this book by one of my favorite picture book duos and then today I found a copy at the Santa Fe public library sale (for a quarter!). I loved the verse throughout and the theme of the book (visiting a variety of characters that all live in the same village) and the Blake illustrations are some of the finest I've ever seen. I look forward to revisiting this book over and over in the years to come.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-14 00:00:00 Jonathan Blakeman It's like one of those popular-classic concerts for people in a hurry, where you dip in and only hear the arias then get to feel good about yourself and your shallow sampling of knowledge. Andre Rieu or Raymond Gubbay presents... someone else's best bits. The original works are, of course, by undeniably serious talents and beyond that sort of criticism. This also comes out of the old Japanese tradition that a great soldier or general should also be a poet.
