Riassunto

In his years of collecting and cataloging the vast Green Tiger library of classic children’s picture books, editor Welleran Poltarnees has singled out scenes containing particularly unusual images and situations and he has compiled the best and rarest of these discoveries in Weird and Wonderful. The results are both engaging and delightful and reveal a world of children’s books where imagination is given free rein. Artists and authors include Frank Baum, Edward Lear, Gelett Burgess, Peter Newell, John R. Neill and Charles Doyle.

L'autore

Welleran Poltarnees characterizes himself as “a normal, perhaps boring, member of the human race.”  Most would not agree with his assessment.  Poltarnees spends his life searching for the memorable image.  This search leads him to a relentless siege of garage sales, auctions, libraries, flea markets and antique stores.  He has collected thousands of pictures books, old and new.  He travels extensively, always searching.  Poltarnees collects useful elephant objects, plastic charms, Jai-alaina, wooden rulers, cloth animals, children’s card games and etc.  He has seven children, each with an exotic name.  He is more comfortable in a suit than in casual dress.  He loves the rain, usually wears a fedora, and attends more than one hundred classical music concerts a year.
