Description
|
|
|
|
Though known for intellectually challenging works like Brave New World, Aldous Huxley penned this tart, delightful tale for his young niece Olivia in 1944. Mr. and Mrs. Crow live in a cottonwood tree at Pearblossom, California. At the bottom of the tree lives a rattlesnake, and Mrs. Crow's eggs keep disappearing before they can hatch. Once the thief is discovered, Mr. Crow and Old Man Owl plan a trap for the snake—who then endures an excruciating stomachache, a very long lecture on his wickedness, and further indignities. Sophie Blackall's hilarious, delicately drawn illustrations bring out the understated comedy of this offbeat gem for readers of all ages.
