Duchess Bakes a Cake
by Virginia Kohl
1955, 1983
Picture Book
중세기 시대를 배경으로 한 아주 사랑스러운 책이다. 내용이 재미있을 뿐더러 여기저기 라이밍 커풀렛(rhyming couplets)*과 어리터레이션(alliteration)**과 같은 문어체가 읽어주는 재미는 말할 것도 없고, 듣는 사람의 귀를 즐겁게 한다.
"So she [The Duchess] raced down the turret, three steps and one leap/ Cleared the help from the kitchen and said 'Don't you peep./ You'll all be delighted, for I'm going to make a lovely luscious delectable cake."

"A long time ago there lived over the waters
A Duchess, A Duke,
and their family of daughters -- Madeleine, Gwendolyn, Jane
and Clothilde,
Caroline, Genevive, Maude and Mathilde,
Willibald,
Guinevere, Joan and
Brunhilde,
And the youngest of all was the baby,
Gunhilde."
Everything went smoothly and happily
in this large family, until one day the
Duchess decided to make:
A lovely light luscious delectable cake.
Would she take the cook's advice? No,
she would not. The Duchess put many
things into the cake, adding the yeast
six times for good measure. So the cake
rose, and the Duchess with it -- and how were they to get her down again?
It is Gunhilde, the youngest of the daughters, who suggests a happy solution.
