unearths some literary gems.
From Animal Land, Where There Are No People, by Sybil and Katharine Corbet:
"I have been asked to say something about the creatures that live in Animal Land where there are no People. My daughter Sybil, aged four, began to describe them to me about a year ago, but as I personally know nothing about them except that I draw them from her very graphic descriptions, I thought I had better write down a few of the facts about them, collected by her, in her own words:—'Animal Land where there are no People is quite near, only you can’t see it. It is a kind of Garden Cage, with the North Pole and the sea always roughling and wavy. In the summer they like to be hotter and hotter, and in the winter colder and colder. They live by the North Pole and in the leafy places near. It is always light there, always day, they climb the poles and always play. That is Animal Land.'"KATHARINE CORBETJanuary 1897[Some highlights include precursors to Yoda, Pikachu, and the Moog.]https://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00086398/00001/flipbook
