β¦ Synopsis
This is the rare original 1953 collection of Patchenβs humorous fables that were reissued in abridged form as "Aflame and Afun of Walking Faces" in 1970. Included in this ebook are the drawings and postscript by original publisher Jonathan Williams from the later "Walking Faces" edition. "...To give some notion of the fables, imagine Mark Twain and Leopardi collaborating on a script for the Marx Brothers to act out at the birth of the world--by no means necessarily this one!"
