Only a few years ago (1950s) we walked on solid earth. Today we whirl through space. Space is big. It is not cozy. But with these verses and drawings\u2026 cheerfulness breaks in. Suddenly, science seems merry. And space begins, with the rhyme on page 1, to feel a little more like home.<\/p>\n
A witty collection of 1950\u2019s space age poetry accompanied by clever black and white line drawings.<\/p>\n
Little Bo Peep Has lost her sheep,
\nThe radar has failed to find them.
\nThey\u2019ll all, face to face, Meet in parallel space,
\nPreceding their leaders behind them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nSome poems, such as\u00a0The Theory that Jack Built<\/em>, are pages long and delightfully illustrated. Here\u2019s another short poem:<\/p>\n
Little Jack Horner Sits in a corner
\nExtracting cube roots to infinity,
\nAn assignment for boys
\nThat will minimize noise
\nAnd produce a more peaceful vicinity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n“Originally published in 1956, this quirky, long out-of-print classic comes in the guise of a children\u2019s illustrated book, but should appeal, now that it\u2019s been rediscovered by Purple House Press, to a much broader audience. With delightful line drawings by Marian Parry reminiscent of those found in Stanislaw Lem\u2019s timeless sci-fi novels, Frederick Winsor\u2019s rhyming verses bring a wide variety of scientific theories, thought, and spirit to life. Probable-Possible, my black hen, She lays eggs in the Relative When. She doesn\u2019t lay eggs in the Positive Now Because she\u2019s unable to Postulate How. The Space Child\u2019s Mother Goose will delight, confound, and edify the egghead inside all of us.”<\/p>\n
