4.0 out of 5 stars The Animated Thumbtack Railroad Dollhouse, etc, January 27, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The animated thumbtack railroad dollhouse & all-around surprise book, evening edition

What a fun & unusual book! I discovered this book as a child in the 70's and loved it. If you love Monty Python and British comedy in general this book is a must have! The illustrations are whimsical, the humor is dry satire to the utmost, and a certain degree of intellect & cynicism is needed to fully appreciate this book. Being a little twisted doesn't hurt either! The strangest thing about it is that the book can be read to the middle and then it needs to be turned upside down and started from the other cover. When you do this you will notice some of the text & images are printed in "negative format" white text on black pages. It is a true treasure!
