WE WERE IN THE ARK

BY GEOFFREY HOLME
If you like good drawings of animals, if you are amused by gentle raillery at man and his foibles, you will find this book amusing. Mr. Holme has drawn on his imagination to enable us to “ Listen in ” to an imaginary scene at the “ Ark Club,” where animals freely express their views on man and his appearance, his ways and achievements. There are over ioo illustrations by the author,
io by 7! in. Cloth 6s.
• THE FIELD: “ This is, at first glance, a volume more suitable for the nursery than the library; but on closer investigation it is obviously a book to be enjoyed by everyone from the age of seven or thereabouts upwards . . . really great fun,
and can be heartily recommended to anyone who can enjoy a laugh at his own expense.”
• SOUTHPORT GUARDIAN: . . deserves to rank with Kipling’s ‘ Just-so Stories ’ as a classic. Mr. Holme’s illustrations, both in the thirty-eight full page plates of the members which are fine examples of animal drawing and in the sixty text drawings in line, and with humorous fancy illustrating the meetings of the club and the whimsical situations which develop are also in the Kipling tradition.”
• APOLLO: “Extremely good fun.”
