The Dodo and the Camel

Abstract

More of a verse mini-beast epic than a fable. Situated in London, Madagascar, and Timbuctoo. Important groups for this happily wedded pair include the zoo and the circus. The villain is the baboon from the circus. The meters in each section are those of a well known song, for example from Gilbert and Sullivan. Malone was apparently a faculty member at Johns Hopkins. Typo on 40: in line 1 of #7, try of for if. This is an enjoyable, whimsical little book.
