One of my Flickr friends sent me a wonderful care package today! Expect some photos of excerpts of the thin book with the fancy brown cover. Published in 1863 in Leipzig, it has wonderful passages written in old German script, and wonderfully nonsensical passages of English. Here's an example:
Crabs live in the water. You will fall into the water. You must not go to the water; you might fall into it. The carp was drawn out of the water. The lark is flying over the field. The bushes are under the lark. The goldfinch is sitting upon the bush or on the grass.This is a book of my brother's. I am just coming from the market place.
And it goes on! Isn't is just a delightful treasure?
Thank you, dear shiraluna!
