Elizabite

| |
Another early H. A. Rey title edited by Ursula Nordstrom
is Elizabite, published in 1942. Rey's delightful
sense of humor takes center stage in this book about
a carnivorous plant. From the jacket flap copy comes
the following description: "When asked about the
origin of Elizabite, Mr. Rey (who has spent many years
in Brazil) told of an evening in Rio when he was dining
with friends, among them a botanist who entertained
the party with strange tales about carnivorous plants.
Ever since, Mr. Rey has looked with suspicion at flower
arrangements on dinner tables, and, as the years went
by, he often tried to imagine what a carnivorous plant
might develop into, under proper care. His thoughts
on the subject crystallized into the colorful and energetic
shape of Elizabite in the present book." |
