An album of children's songs and poetry songs, done very spare. Piano, guitar, voice. A few songs add a few other elements. Children's songs, poetry from Lewis Carroll, William Blake, and a clutch of English poets set to very catchy melodies, and some Donovan originals. Amazingly captivating melodies throughout. There's nothing like this in the universe. Only snag is two lesser tracks: a long tape loop experiment and pseudo rock song forced on him by his producer. The rest is sheer genius.
