(4) PS Illustrated by Charlotte Voake. Voake illustrates both Lear's classic poem and Donaldson's sequel to it; her eye-pleasing, loose-lined pen and watercolor style includes unique if somewhat head-scratching details (e.g., the green-skinned natives of the "land where the Bong-tree grows" in Edwardian-esque garb). Further Adventures's meter, made-up words, and nonsensical story line spun off from a sea voyage pay passable homage to Lear. Review covers these titles: The Further Adventures of The Owl and the Pussy-Cat and The Owl and the Pussy-Cat.
