The Lamb Cycle: What the Great English Poets Would Have Written About Mary and Her Lamb (Had They Thought of It First)
David R. Ewbank, Illustrations by Kate Feiffer, Foreword by James Engell
Cloth: $18.95E-book: $17.95
“The Lamb Cycle made me laugh with delight even as it delivered a masterclass on poetic form. David R. Ewbank captures each of the great poets’ stylistic tics and thematic preoccupations, and imbues them with a visionary verve all his own. The poems are perfectly paired with Kate Feiffer’s elegant illustrations, brimming with wit and wonderment.”
Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist
