In 1944, Aldous Huxley penned his one and only children’s book 'The Crows of Pearblossom'. It never saw the light of day in Huxley’s lifetime but was published posthumously in 1967, with illustrations by Barbara Cooneypic.twitter.com/EV4MyPQuef

The first was from the 'The Crows of Pearlblossom'. The second was just a reference to another of Huxley's books. An attempt, alas perhaps feeble, at humour.

Interesting title. Huxley spent time at Llano, a socialist utopian commune just over the Angeles Crest from Los Angeles near Palmdale. Llano's ruins still stand along Rte 138, aka Pearblossom Highway.
