New York: Dover 72 pp text & b&w illustrations, followed by 182 double-page b&w plates, each with multiple images.

The horse alone is shown in more than 40 different ways: galloping with nude rider, trotting, pacing with sulky, cantering, jumping hurdles, carrying, rolling on barrels, and 36 other actions.

"After hours of painstaking research, the true story of what happened in Sherwood Forest has been uncovered: Maid Marian did all the work and Robin Hood took all the credit. Robin was actually a terrific coward.

When the Beast of Bolsover, the foulest, most disgusting, bad-breathed squirrel strangler in the entire West Midlands, takes over Sherwood Forest, Maid Marian and her Merry Men are determined not to be evicted. But can even Marian outwit the cold-blooded maniacal Professor Nasty of the University of Disgusting Things that Make you Sick? Maybe she can, with the Sheriff of Nottingham's help.

New York: Dover, 1962. 216 pp + publisher's catalog, 8vo (8 7/16" H). Profusely illustrated with Busch's b&w cartoons. Bilingual text (English/German). "Wilhelm Busch (1832-1908), endowed with an equipotent facility with sketch-pad and rhyming dictionary, created during his career some of the most arresting sketches and drollest verses the world has ever seen. Few men since his time have shown the same ability to match simple yet penetrating pictures with rollicking, quotable verse. In his native Germany he is still by all odds the best-loved creator of illustrated light verse. (Many of his pithy aphorisms have long since become folk sayings among the Germans.) The variety of tone and subject matter is wide: Busch is in turn malevolent, jovial, sardonic, diabolical and even bloodthirsty as he castigates hypocrisy, stodginess, stupidity, egotism, drunkenness, and other human foibles. The English translations are both ingenious and faithful; in most cases they are the first English…

The Zen teaching he introduced flourished in a foreign country and reached its Golden Age in Tang China whereas Buddhism was to eventually die out in the land of its birth. Orthodox Buddhism was often under attack in imperial China as being an alien philosophy. However, Zen flowered because it remained down-to-earth and it addressed the consciousness common to all humanity regardless of race or culture. Tsai Chih Chung traces the origin and development of Zen in China with a light-hearted touch which is very much in keeping with the Zen spirit of absolute freedom and unbounded creativity."

Rupert commenced his existence in the pages of the Daily Express in 1920 and for generations of Britons he has been part of childhood mythology. The central character, apart from the small bear himself, is the late Alfred Bestall, who drew Rupert daily for thirty years. He was interviewed at length, and gave the book his full co-operation. The book assesses Rupert's popularity and includes full descriptions of the associated enterprises, the fan clubs, the annuals, the book reprints, the merchandising and his appearances on television, in the cinema as an animation, and even the notorious piracy in the underground paper, Oz. The evocative illustrations include not only familiar images of Rupert, but also material never before published from the archives of the Daily Express." Interior - gift…
