註釋

Cruel and Unusual Punnishments by Mark P Henderson is a hilarious collection of prose and poetry that gives a laugh out loud insight into the mind of this wonderful, insightful author. Each scintilating morsel is also expertly illustrated by Mossy.Split into three distinct sections, the author explains each beautifully;Fables Without Morals - When one of these verses is recited in public the audience expects a carry-home message, and the expectation is always disappointed. The groans are gratifying, though in the interests of health and safety I've sometimes positioned myself within easy reach of the exit before performing a Fable Without Moral. You'll see why.Tales To Tell - Fifteen vignettes constitute a selection from the extensive repertoire available. Out of consideration for the reader I haven't included more.Eight Animal Sonnets - During an evening of convivial relaxation many years ago, one of my companions raised the subject of aardvarks; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was 'Aardvark'. Discussion led to considerations of the odd appearance and habits of this South African anteater, and someone remarked that the aardvark could never be a subject for - say - a sonnet. To me, this sounded like a challenge.We hope you enjoy this wonderful book, perpetrated by Mark P Henderson and illustrated by David 'Mossy' Moss.
