Mots d'heures, gousses, rames : the d'Antin manuscript par Luis d'Antin Van Rooten
This is one of the cleverest, most imaginative books I have ever seen. When read in French, the rhymes make no sense at all; they are just random words put together. But when spoken aloud, they turn into well-known English poetry. For example, the title turns into "Mother Goose Rhymes". An amazing accomplishment and terrific fun.
A classic of homophonic translation; a work of genius.
I think he made it all up.
I read this book a long time ago, and had forgotten all about it until someone posted on "Name That Book" asking if anyone could identify it. I knew I had read it, and was sure that the title was a version of "Mother Goose Rhymes"., so I checked all the books tagged as "Mother Goose Rhymes" and found the title that way.
I found it unreadable and unfunny, and I am not sure that I managed to work out what any of the rhymes were meant to be.
