Synopsis "A Chocolate box Menagerie (in English)"
A Chocolate Box Menagerie is a wonderful little volume of charming poems full of strange creatures with recognizable personalities. Freeman explores the child's world in which there is no distinction between animate and inanimate. A packet of spaghetti is as likely to be looking for love as a sparrow. Starfish gaze at the night sky and wonder from where they've dropped. And bathroom mirrors live in constant torment, unable to flee from what they have to witness every day!We read of domestic dramas: the marmalade's bitterness towards the jam; the macaroon's attempt at singing and dancing; and the infidelity of a pickled herring. There are also many poems about exotically named animals.The book is remarkable for its wit and inventiveness. Has anyone written before about the yearnings of a bacon sandwich, or told of the tragic life of a coat hanger? Who has ever thought to create a world peopled by letters of the alphabet? And all this is done with the enduring grace and beauty of meter and rhyme that will surely appeal to all ages.
