The Roman Twins

(2) 1-3 A tale of ancient Rome is illustrated with Gerrard's trademark shortened-and-distorted figures and narrated in simple, bouncy verse. Two slave children run away from their cruel master, and after many vicissitudes, they win a chariot race and practically single-handedly save Rome from an invasion by the Ostrogoths. The charm of the whole absurd conception is only accentuated by the ridiculous, squat figures and the rather tatty rhymes.
Reviewer: Ann A. Flowers | Horn Book Magazine Issue: November, 1998
