SECRETS Come close to me, that I to you a secret may impart; A secret more important, too, than how to toss a tart. I’ll whisper in your purple ear, like this, a word or two. Come nearer, lest they overhear; They seek the Wurbaloo! |

John Rae was an American author and illustrator who lived from 1882 to
1963. He wrote and illustrated New Adventures of Alice, Grasshopper
Green and The Meadow Mice, and Granny Goose, and was noted for
his portraits of Carl Sandburg and Albert Einstein. This charming book, written in 1917, fulfils Rae’s own wish that Carroll had written another book about Wonderland. In it Alice’s new adventures consist of visits to a number of Mother Goose characters, as well as to a remarkable artist, a poet, and a printer—characters certainly familiar to John Rae himself.
