Response - I am quite impressed. The writing is a 17th century English poem that is is form of trick verse. If the poem is read straightforwardly, then the poem is surreal. But if the lines are broken in the middle then the poem makes sense. A great book for children and adults. A fascinating book.

So, so amazing. And a reason that e-media will never, ever replace print. ( )
