	The Slant Book This unique and charming picture book on a slant (complete with tilted text and images) tells the delightful tale of a stroller gone amok. New This uphill work is slow, indeed, But down the slant-ah! note the speed! When little Bobby’s stroller is suddenly set adrift, he goes streaking down a hill, gleefully wreaking havoc on the town’s people he hurtles past—even bringing some along for the ride! Meet the police officer, the farmer’s wife, the German band and the picnicking party, all of whom are affected by this afternoon stroll gone out of control. Who else will be in the wrong place at the wrong time as little Bobby’s stroller goes careening down the slope? This unique and charming picture book on a slant (complete with tilted text and images) tells the tale of what can happen on a slant, through witty rhymes with comical, detailed illustrations to match the hilarious tone. Originally published in 1910, this classic children’s book is sure to be enjoyed by the whole family. Peter S. Newell, Author & Illustrator Peter Newell was one of the earliest to play with the form of the book - using elements such as shape, details of illustrations - to move his verse forward. Critics say he broke with the conventions of Victorian book illustration, through what he did with and to the book. Newell’s world abounds in racial and social types and sometimes stereotypes - his acerbic pen sketches character marvellously and while we may not always relish his partisan ways of rendering, we may yet enjoy the lively and enduring vignettes of the period for what they are. An illustrator first, he illustrated nearly two hundred magazine articles and over forty books for other authors, such as Lewis Carroll’s nonsense books. His work appeared regularly in Harper’s Bazaar, McClure’s, and Collier’s. He is also the author and illustrator of Topsys and Turvys, The Hole Book and Rocketbook. “What a pleasure to rediscover Newell’s giddy and inventive style.” —Atlanta Journal-Constitution Price: $ 24.95 Sale Price: $ 18.71 / Rs 350.00 More Details \|
