A Fowl Letter Book [An ABC Book]
Conceived
& Illustrated by Carol J. Blinn. Foreword by Theophile Homard.
1989.
Each
letter is represented by a line drawing with a ducky theme. I have
put a key to the pictures of the letters in the back of the book.
“The
deservedly obscure, but widely disrespected psychologist, Dr. Theophile
Homard, has written a probing introduction to the book. In it, he
explores the dark myseries behind the images, and dispels any notion
that the book is what it seems. Disregarding the aesthetic aspects
of the drawings, Homard instead seeks to establish an existential
link between the symbolism of the birds and the psyche of their
creator. He’s probably full of crap, but who knows?”
