Poems by renowned children's poet J. Patrick Lewis are evocatively illustrated by Christopher Wormell's wood engravings to commemorate the lives and deaths of 20 of the hundreds of animals species that have become extinct in the past three centuries. Paying final tribute to twenty extinct animals in poetry and engravings, this elegiac collection celebrates the memory of such creatures as the dodo and quagga while lamenting their loss.
