There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly
by Simms Taback, and published by Viking
About
91´«Ã½
The popular American folk song of the old woman with an insatiable taste for life is served up in a fresh presentation. The reader is treated to an insider's view of her progressively excessive appetite through expanding die-cut peepholes to the inevitable climax.
"A tour de force in innovative book illustration and design; the art is kinetic using mixed media and collage elements and enhanced by glossy black backgrounds."
