5.0 out of 5 stars twisted and beautiful psychedelic children's book, May 11, 1999

By A Customer

this is not the type of book your would buy for the child of your p.c. sister-in-law. but it's one of the only books i remember as truly great from my formative years, and it's only grown better as i've aged. you can search the tighly packed illustrations for hours and still find something new the next time you look. it's got dark themes, but i don't remember having problems with that when i was young. instead, i read it now, and marvel at how little and how much of the rich content i understood. it's immediately obvious - the man must have been on a lot of drugs when he made this book - one look at the copyright date pretty much confirms your suspicions. *whatever* he was on, the result is gratifying. but if you agree with those who want to shut all mapplethorpe and nine inch nails in a box somewhere, don't bother. trust me, you're glad it's out of print.
