Faces: Illustrated Limericks Portraying People You May Know

By Carl Pickhardt Ph.D.

Combining his love of writing, drawing, and psychology,
author Carl Pickhardt Ph.D. has created his eighth book of
illustrated psychology, FACES, to present a picture gallery of
one hundred fictional individuals. Every portrait personifies
some human characteristic that the limerick (five-line
verse) about each subject further describes sometimes to
humorous, sometimes to serious effect.

For example, there are portraits of The Man Who Was
Chronically Late, The Woman Who Wanted To Please,
and many others. Thus the book of male and female
subjects becomes a visual and verbal commentary about
human nature that both pleases the eye and provokes the
mind to thought.
