The Dinkey Bird was originally an illustration from a book titled; Poems of Childhood by Eugene Field, 1904. This work exemplifies Parrish's characteristic use of androgynous figures. The following words are an expert from the poem on the page this illustration was created for: In an ocean, ‘way out yonder (As all sapient people know), Is the land of Wonder-Wander, Whither children love to go; It’s their playing, romping, swinging, That give great joy to me While the Dinkey-Bird goes singing In the amfalula tree! Our Dinky Bird is from the 40's and measures as the following - Frame: 18 1/2 high by 14 1/2 wide Print: 13 3/4 by 10. Also, please rest assured that this actual 1940's print is not a fake printed with a computer but rather actually does come from the era we've indicated.
