Cosmic Capers

-

Fancybell cried, 'The stars aren't close

Yet you grip one with abandon.

You shall be beyond morose

Upon your Earthly landin'.

 

The dog thought real hard, and then he said,

'Tis true this danger lies ahead

And I fear it will be soon.

But best to try although I die

Then laze there on a moon'. 

 

I think that this here conversation

Is not fit for publication.

He only does them when he’s happy. His name is Haigha.” (He pronounced it so as to rhyme with “mayor.”) “I love my love with an H,” Alice couldn’t help beginning, “because he is Happy. I hate him with an H, because he is Hideous. I fed him with—with—with Ham-sandwiches and Hay. H...

Tales From The Arabian Nights

 Sinbad and The Old Man of the Sea.   One of my favorite books ever, I was given this when I was a child.  I still have it, and it started a lifelong love for the artist, Gustav Tenggren.    Tenggren worked for Disney at one point in his life, notably Bambi and Pinocchio.  Is this awesome or what?    Aladdin.    Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.    Sinbad in the Valley of the Snakes.    Scheherazade.    The Serpent Queen.    The Serpent Queen.    Sinbad.    Morgan about to save her master.  Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.    I've never been the same after reading this. Tales From The Arabian Nights Margaret Soifer and Irwin Shapiro, Illustrated by Gustaf Tenggren. Golden Press, 1957.    His illustrations for the Poky Littel Puppy made it the number one best seller of a kid's book of all time. https://ia902800.us.archive.org/6/items/PokyLittlePuppy/Poky%20l...
