- Abstract
- en_US I am probably cheating by including this lovely sideways book in this collection. The letter R is given here to rabbits who are roasting a hunter and his dog in an engraving by Virgil Solis. I have some recollection, which I cannot confirm, that there was an old (German?) joke-fable that turns the tables and has rabbits roasting men. Otherwise the best of the illustrations here is, I believe, Dürer's lion with St. Jerome. There is some creative alphabet work here: Nonesuch Beast, Queer Bird, and eXtraordinary Animal.
