About
Drummer Hold is a cumulative rhythmic tale about the building of a cannon in which brightly dressed men of the militia--Private Parriage, Corporal Farrell, Sergeant Chowder, General Border, all share. However, it is Drummer Holf who finally fires the cannon. The artist's unerring sense of design enables him to pace the text as it moves in snappy tempo. The brilliant colors over bold wood cut lines delineate the characters and their actions and the remarkable machine which goes Kahbabloom!
