Mahy, Margaret

The Man from the Land of Fandango

32 pp. | Clarion | October, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-81988-4 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Polly Dunbar. With this latest nonsense-verse offering, Mahy places herself right up there with the nineteenth-century masters of the form, Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll. The quirky exuberance of Dunbar's playful watercolor illustrations is a perfect match for Mahy's verse; they show two young children reveling in a zany visit from a man they themselves created as a larger-than-life painting that flew off the page.
