Description

Adventure into Whimsey with Hilarious Travels and Hysterical Travails. Be dragged along with our Nameless Hero through the snows of Siberia, the frigid waters of sundry oceans, deserts, desserts, forests and fantastical locations real and imagined around the cosmos. With improbable situations and tortuous tangents becoming more and more absurd along the way, you will laugh out loud (and likely groan) all along the way. In this fabulous and fanciful telling of the infamous shaggy dog story "Siberian Peach Pie," Yr. Humble Piescribe, award winning author Marvin Kaye, uses an inspired montage of literary styles, homages, and esoteric references to ingeniously mince together anecdotes, jokes, puns and uncanny states of affair into a frothy shaggy dog stew. With whimsical illustrations by Marc Bilgrey, this book is one you will cherish for as long as you live. Or at least until you finish reading it. Consume the delightful confection that is The Quest For The Pastried Peach and be warped, twisted and swept away in jocularity. "A whirlwind of ingenious nonsensica." -Jon Koons MARVIN KAYE is the author of nineteen novels, including The Hillary Quayle Mysteries series, The Marty Gold Mysteries series, The Masters of Solitude trilogy (coauthored with Parke Godwin), and the SF cult classic, The Incredible Umbrella series.
