The Slant Book, E-bok
Watch out! A little boy comes rushing down a hill, through busy streets, a pasture, a tennis yard and a meadow — before finally coming to rest, safely in a haystack. Peter Newell’s’s own hilarious, topsy-turvy illustrations fill the pages of the classic The Slant Book , which was one of the earliest ‘picture books’. This first edition from 1910 is guaranteed to still entertain both young and old.Peter Newell (1862-1924) was an American artist, author and illustrator of children’s books. Creating his own picture books, such as The Hole Book and The Slant Book , he also illustrated first editions of books by authors such as Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, John Kendrick Bangs, and Lewis Carroll.
