The pen is mightier than the sword >And mightier than the literary award. >Without the pen we'd be unable >To leave those notes on the kitchen table. >Nothing lovelier ever penned >With three small crosses at the end; >Made for no one else to see; >The literature of you and me.' >From the ever-faithful, hand-held pen of Michael Leunig comes this most curious, vigorous and wonderful collection of drawings. Here are some of the grand themes of existence, insights and outbursts on a heroic scale, including lots of ducks. A rude and tender volume for the kitchen table.
