Fairy tales-reconceived and retold by renowned American authors! No longer need the appeal of these simple narratives be restricted to the narrow competence of immature minds. This trove of literary gems, only recently unearthed, will alter forever the common notion that the naive stories of Cinderella, Rapunzel and Rumpelstilskin are the exclusive province of children. With this remarkable collection, David Ewbank brings to the attention of an unsuspecting world his discovery of twenty-one hitherto unknown masterpieces-all written by such eminent Americans as Benjamin Franklin, Herman Melville, John Steinbeck and Cormac McCarthy. A collection certain to occasion incredulous astonishment!

The rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb” told in the style—and substance—of the great English poets from Edmund Spenser to Stevie Smith. In The Lamb Cycle, David R. Ewbank achieves the unthinkable—he writes so convincingly in the style of the great English poets that one could be lulled into thinking that Shakespeare himself was inspired to muse upon the subject of “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Ewbank captures not only the style of each of the poets he chooses, but also their preoccupations and subject matter. So D.H. Lawrence’s Mary longs for her lamb as any woman longing for her lover, whilst T.S. Eliot’s Mary is recollected by an old man looking back on his life. Alexander Pope writes an “An Essay on Lambs,” and Tennyson’s lotus eaters become “The Clover Eater.” Brilliantly written, sophisticated, and laugh-out-loud funny, these poems, enhanced by Kate Feiffer’s charming illustrations, will enchant anyone who has ever read an English poem.
