First published in 1910, THE INCLINED BOOK by Peter Newell is a classic children's book and at the same time a unique and irresistible object for older readers.

In verse and literally tilted, this book illustrates in its pages Bobby's rollicking descent in his stroller down the steepest slope of the neighborhood. Bobby runs over the neighbors, the guard, the painter, the cow, the newsagent, and everyone else who, unsuspecting, is caught by the runaway stroller, which creates the most incredible accidents and great confusion.

A masterpiece of children's books, a pioneer of special formats, it is now restored a century later for 21st century readers.
