{"product_id":"2940151846790","title":"The Nonsense Rhymes of A. Bootrus Walley","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese rhymes of A. Bootrus Walley are in the spirit of the nonsense poetry and oddball tales of Edward Lear, Shel Silverstein and Edward Gorey. There are ten of them whose narratives and cartoons tell their characters unique stories and adventures. They tell of the consequences of underestimating Ethylred Ethylred by Mr. Prim and Mr. Proper. There’s the odd fate of Mortimer Clive who lies to himself while engaging in his morning shave and the tale of the love struck Ester Twizel. In the Ballad of the Midnight Pearl, the fateful voyage of the bark named Midnight Pearl as told around the glowing hearth of the Blue Pelican Inn, tells an eerie tale of happenings at sea. And what happens to all the lint that swirls in the world? Well, Ordner, Bordner and Bendilay will find the answers when they go in search of The Great Balls of Lint. Besides these five, there are five more waiting to be enjoyed. And what of the rhymes’ author, A. Bootrus Walley? Perhaps the following rhyme describes him best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is an odd little man named A.
