Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fancy Free
From periods ante-primary he dated, as we know, And with the greatest interest observed that wondrous Show Of shells and fish, of monstrous newts, of dragons on the wing; Then chronicled the changes that the rolling ages bring, That scientific Zagabog, That most observant Zagabog; And he loved everything.
Some twenty million years passed by and all the Isle went well Great palms grew on the mountain-tops huge ferns adorned the dell And everywhere vast reptiles took their Mesozoic ease, And ate each other frequently, with snap and snarl and sneeze But their beloved Zagabog, Their wise and wakeful Zagabog, They always tried to please.
For in those Secondary times, when monsters had their day, Triassic and Jurassic giants about his feet would play And through the air there sometimes came the Archaeopteryx A funny sort of feathered thing where bird and dragon mix. Your fossil, said the Zagabog, The humour-loving Zagabog, Will put them in a fix.
