This slim volume contains four stories, with a high proportion of space taken up by illustrations (that I like a lot.) Three were written for Cummings' daughter, Nancy and one (much later, obviously) for his grandson. This one, The Elephant and the Butterfly, was my favourite. Elephants were Cummings' favourite animals from childhood onwards. (He did his own pictures of elephants as a youngster.) It is surmised in an afterword that the titular Elephant and Butterfly symbolise Cummings himself and his grandson, respectively. I don't know if that's true, but it's plausible and the idea makes the story even more delightful to me. ( ) We've been reading some poems and stories by ee cummings. My 14 yr old son loves his stuff! His style is indeed unique, w/random punctuations and odd, irregular sentence structure, if indeed there is any structure. My 8 yr old daughter loved the odd little story called "The Old Man who said 'Why'". It reads like a fable of sorts. I'm hoping I have some time to read up on this unique writer. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
