Clever, dark poems that make you laugh with unease. Little Nell is a sweet, adorable, little pig-tailed moppet who, in each poem, is introduced, commits an absurdly foolish act, and then promptly dies.....all in the span of four lines of verse. Honoring the rhyming talents of Dr. Seuss and the dark humor of Edward Gorey, The Little Nell Poems will make the warped child in every reader clutch their bellies with laughter.
