(4) PS Old King Cole invites nursery-rhyme characters to a ball, only to fall asleep during the festivities. The accompanying verses dutifully detail the efforts of familiar characters to wake him up. Finally, the Queen of Hearts entices him with her sweet-smelling tarts. The lively but crowded scenes are rendered in watercolor, gouache, ink, and colored pencil. Musical score included.
