Janet Does Everything: - A...

Van Evan Fuller

Janet Does Everything: A Poetical Hodgepodge for Children, Adults and the Undecided is an eclectic collection of verse in the tradition of such rhymesters as Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear and W. S. Gilbert. Subjects range from the remarkable Janet (who does everything) to Vlad the Impaler (really!) to chihuahuas encountering alien spacecraft to ravenous tigers and Old Testament prophets on vacation. 
Not enough? You’ll also find political and cultural critiques (sometimes brutal, but always softened by humor) and a touch of pure surrealism. Looking for overblown bogus Shakespearean verse? That’s here, too. 
Janet Does Everything is the work of Van Evan Fuller, who (through some remarkable coincidence) is also the illustrator. Mr. Fuller has been an artist/illustrator since 1980, when computers were powered by kerosene and the only Amazon was full of piranhas. As a semi-ancient person, Mr. Fuller writes in the intricate, traditional style that strictly observes the rules of rhyme and meter. He ignores the rules for everything else.
