| Summary | "A Phenomenal Fauna" by Carolyn Wells is a whimsical collection of poems and illustrations that was written in the early 20th century. This book showcases a series of playful verses that humorously describe a variety of fantastical creatures, blending elements of poetry and light-hearted storytelling. The work appeals to children and adults alike with its imaginative take on animals and their anthropomorphic qualities, creating a delightful exploration of the animal kingdom through a lens of fantasy. The book contains a series of rhyming poems, each dedicated to a unique and fictional creature, such as the "Reg'lur Lark," the "Bookworm," and the "Bugbear." Each poem provides a whimsical description of the creature’s traits and behaviors, often with a humorous twist. For example, the "Humbug" speaks to the idea of misconceptions, while the "Black Sheep" humorously critiques those who deceive. Through clever wordplay and vivid imagery, Wells invites readers into a charming world where animals possess quirky characteristics and convey broader social commentary, making the collection not just entertaining but also thought-provoking.
