I can’t quite put my finger on it. But the
concept of Four-Footed Lovers seems a
bit – how can one put it? – Taranaki.
The book was written by Frank Albertsen,
illustrated by Lizbeth
Bullock Humphrey and published in 1875 by Lee & Shepard, among
whose other authors was the magnificently monikered Levina Buoncuore Urbino.
The publisher was based in Boston and the imprint survives as part of
HarperCollins. After that, you are on your own.
That rabbit looks mean.
ReplyDeleteOr is it a hare? Am hazy on the difference. But rabbits are definitely mean. When I lived behind the Kiwi Bacon factory in Kingsland every Jan or Feb I would get rabbits - Christmas presents abandoned when the kids got tired of them - in my garden eating my lettuce and beating up my cat. They have a powerful kick, those little fluffy bunnies.
