Riddles are one of the oldest forms of folklore, and nowhere have they been more popular than in England, where a rich body of them has been handed down from Anglo-Saxon times to the present. From this lore, artist Riana Duncan has selected a group of animal riddles and has lovingly, painstakingly illustrated them for A NUTCRACKER IN A TREE. The old rhyming texts are pungent and wise. They are splendidly set off by Riana Duncan's glowing watercolors and luminous, meticulously rendered ink drawings.
