Riddell, James. Ski Lore and Disorder. First Edition. 1962. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition.
This slight but amusing book appropriates verse from Shakespeare, Mother Goose, A.A. Milne, Ogden Nash, Lewis Carroll, and Rudyard Kipling (among others) to present the delights and perils of alpine adventure. A Humpty Dumpty on skis suffers a great fall; Alice from Wonderland goes skiing in Switzerland; men make passes at girls in ski classes; etc. Each poem is accompanied with comical b & w illustration. Would make a great hostess gift to bring to a ski resort vacation home.
