"With A Bestiary comes the reintroduction of a timeless classic that was first published by Pantheon in 1955 as a signed, limited edition. This beautifully produced book is based on the original collaboration between Richard Wilbur and Alexander Calder, for which Calder created more than fifty whimsical drawings in his own unique stvle and Wilbur chose excerpts from classic works of literature - poetry, essays, novels, plays, stories - to accompany them. In this enchanting book one finds such unexpected combinations as Faulkner on the Dog, Machiavelli on the Centaur, Disraeli on the Ape, Sherwood Anderson on the Horse, T. E. Lawrence on the Camel, Thoreau on the Mouse, Laurence Sterne on the Fly, Plato on the Grasshopper, and Bertrand Russell on the Unicorn, among many others. A Bestiary is a book for all ages - one that will bring endless pleasure to a new generation of those who find art, literature, and animals an irresistible combination."
