Vickers', with the author's monogram and date 1913 also in ink, and pencilled address 'Newsells Park, Royston, Herts' in the author's hand. Vickers, an accomplished artist and noted humourist, who had a particular penchant for drawing birds, apparently pioneered the use of the word 'Google' decades before it became the name of a well-known search engine. In his book the Google monster sleeps in a pool in a beautiful garden by day, and preys on the various fantastical birds of Google land by night. His ingenious illustrations, with their accompanying witty verses, have titles such as: Great Skull-Headed Ston Trot, The Gogo (or Camel Bird), The Whatnot, The Little Gadwot, The Great McDoo or Dewar Bird, The Shivver-Doodle, The Flabbytoes, The Lemonsqueezer and The Soft-Nosed Wollop.
