{"product_id":"9780984681426","title":"True Swamp: Choose Your Poison","description":"\u003cp\u003e\" \u003ci\u003eTrue Swamp\u003c\/i\u003e is a true classic. Melancholy frogs, awkward cross-species relationships, thoughtful discussions on the meaning of life and love and the possibility of kindness, and of course the ever-present need to eat and not be eaten. Jon Lewis has created a world so rich in detail and personality that once you've dipped your toe in the warm larvae-filled water, you won't want to leave. And to tell the truth, you never will. It's been nearly twenty years since I first read these stories and still they simmer away inside my brain, like a benevolent ink-borne parasite that burrows ever deeper, exposing strange new layers of wonder and insight in that crowded fertile swamp we call life.\"— Dylan Horrocks, \u003ci\u003eHicksville\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eTrue Swamp: Choose Your Poison\u003c\/i\u003e collects the first storyline of this landmark series, telling the tale of Lenny the Frog—part coming-of-age story, part fantastic adventure, part gutter poetry.
