Staff Pick of the Week

I was perusing the stacks in Special Collections and the children’s book Frog Went a-Courtin' by John Langstaff caught my eye because of the wonderful pictures by Russian illustrator Feodor Rojankovsky.  Our copy is a first edition that was published in 1955 in New York by Harcourt, Brace and Company. It was the recipient of the Caldecott Medal for illustration in 1956.

Frog Went a-Courtin' is a retelling of a Scottish folk song that first appeared in Robert Wedderburn's Complaynt of Scotland in 1548 under the name "The Frog cam to the Myl dur." The introduction of John Langstaff’s retelling notes that the story was “written down in Scotland more than 400 years ago, but it has always been the kind of story that was told and sung to children, instead of being read to them.”

The basic premise of the story is that Frog wants to marry Miss Mouse, but first must ask for permission from Uncle Rat (an antiquated practice in my opinion). Once Frog and Miss Mouse decide to get married, all sorts of other creatures like bugs, birds, and raccoons get to work preparing a wedding celebration. The story ends with Old Tom Cat crashing the party. In the original story the cat devours all the wedding guests, but luckily in this version Frog and Miss Mouse end up in France on their honeymoon. Frog Went a-Courtin' has been adapted many time over the years, and has even been covered by Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.

John Langstaff (1920-2005) was a concert baritone, and early music revivalist, and the founder of the Christmas Revels, a modern-day theatrical celebration of the winter solstice that draws from folk traditions of many cultures. Langstaff had a long career in music education, as well as writing over 25 children’s books.

Feodor Rojankovsky (1891-1970) was born Mitava, Russia. He was artistically inclined from a young age and ended up studying at the Moscow Fine Arts Academy, but left to serve as an infantry officer with the Russian army during World War I in 1914. Several years later, he began making children's book illustrations for the Ukrainian Republic during the Russian Revolution, but was conscripted into the White Army in 1919 and soon became a prisoner-of-war in Poland. He stayed in Poland after the war and worked as an art director for both a fashion magazine and a book publishing company. Eventually he moved to Paris, and while there produced his first children’s book for a Western publisher, Daniel Boone in 1931 (we have a later edition published in 1945 our holdings). In 1941, Rojankovsky moved to the United States and continued to work in book illustration until he died.

On a totally coincidental note, both John Langstaff and Feodor Rojankovsky were born on Christmas Eve, December 24! So we would like to wish them both an early birthday anniversary.

sources under cut

Water Thick-Knee

eBird Sightings - 19,756

IUCN Status - Least Concern

Location: Africa - reported across large swaths of central and southern Africa

Palawan Peacock-pheasant

eBird Sightings - 323

IUCN Status - Vulnerable

Location: Philippines - Palawan Island

“Males are strikingly indigo, they have multiple spurs, and they stridulate using quills!”

Palawan Peacock-Pheasant Propaganda

eBird Sightings - 323

IUCN Status - Vulnerable

Location: Philippines - Palawan Island

"Males are strikingly indigo, they have multiple spurs, and they stridulate using quills!"

Starry Owlet-Nightjar Propaganda

IUCN Status - Data Deficient; thought to be naturally rare, but not at risk.

Location: Oceania - East-Central New Guinea; a few separate populations have also been found in Southeast New Guinea and the Kali Muyu Reserve in West Papua. Either thought to be very rare or very dispersed within its habitat.

"Big mouths like all nightjars, but with a permanent surprised look. Also they look a bit like a big chicken leg sometimes"

Pied Currawong (Strepera graculina)

"Not only does it look cool, but also makes melodious, almost out of this world sounds!" "I just think it's neat"

This Australian bird is found along the Eastern edge of the continent, and is cousins with the Australian magpie. Unlike magpie, the currawong does the bulk of its foraging in trees, rather than on the ground. While currawong seem crow-like in both appearance and habit, they're only distantly related and instead belong to the "butcherbird" family, Artamidae.

Pied currawong are omnivorous and opportunistic, eating fruit, berries, insects, and smaller vertebrates- typically juvenile birds and bird eggs. They regurgitate pellets that are often clumps of seed and other undigested material, like insect casings.
