This book is a collection of writings and poems, illustrated here and there with Talbot Cox's 'plein air' sketches, caricatures of famous personalities, and paintings. They are flights of fantasy with much based on fact. 'It has taken me a lifetime to paint like a child again.' Talbot Cox's delightful book Barkings in Schoenies will capture the hearts of discerning readers to whom Pablo Picasso's quote appeals; those who wonder and believe like a child - unconditionally and with an imagination free of societal shackles.
