If you've ever wanted to say Halo Sailor to someone wandering along the quayside, this book will show you how. If you've ever wondered where the Lost Ark went, then Maritime Nonsense will introduce you to the Waders of the Lost Ark.You will find profound poems, such as A lion B hind C lions. This work has never been published before (and will probably never be published again). It's not very often that a book of this nature appears on our bookshelves; it's not very often that sailors find such a manual packed with useful information. If you want to know what to take on a long voyage this book will tell you.Have you ever wondered where to go to find a Tern on a Tap?How would you cook Mole Mariniere?All these questions must be answered. This isn't the book to do it.This work compliments Embroideries and Patterns of Nineteenth Century Vienna, Serena's first publication concerning the Nowotny Collection. Like its counterpart, Animal Embroideries and Patterns surveys samplers, motifs and decorative patterns, but focuses solely on animal patterns.
