About This Item
New York: The Viking Press, 1981 Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Near Fine/ VG, Illustrated boards are tight and unmarked. A couple of fingerprints on interior pages.Illustrated DJ has a 3 inch closed tear on right front. Every race ad every country has its own increasingly bizarre hang-ups. Animals too, as Ronald Searle now reveals. They have universal ones, and however resigned we may be about our own peculiarities, it is comforting to know that there are equallly imbecilic inhabitants of the Animal Kingdom: consider the sad case of the vegetarian vampire bat, the hygienic rat, the affectionate asp, the crocodile shedding genuine tears! To all of these misfits Ronald Searle applies his piercing eye and mordant pen to produce a superb and hilarious collection of full-color close-ups, which will do much to enhance his reputation as The Man Most Animals Would Enjoy Eating First! A five-star dish for all..
