SUMMARY:Philip Stead  presents The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine.
DESCRIPTION:Philip Stead presents the never-before-published\, previously unfinished Mark Twain children’s story\, The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine. \n\n\n\n\n“Completing a story penned by arguably America’s greatest author is no easy feat\, but the Caldecott-winning author-illustrator (and husband-wife) team proves more than equal to the task. . . . A pensive and whimsical work that Twain would applaud.”– Kirkus\, starred review \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a hotel in Paris one evening in 1879\, Mark Twain sat with his young daughters\, who begged their father for a story. Twain began telling them the tale of Johnny\, a poor boy in possession of some magical seeds. Later\, Twain would jot down some rough notes about the story\, but the tale was left unfinished . . . until now. \nPlucked from the Mark Twain archive at UC Berkeley’s Bancroft Library\, Twain’s notes now form the foundation of a fairy tale picked up over a century later. With only Twain’s fragmentary script and a story that stops partway as his guide\, author Philip Stead has written a tale that imagines what might have been if Twain had fully realized this work. \nJohnny\, forlorn and alone except for his pet chicken\, meets a kind woman who gives him seeds that change his fortune\, allowing him to speak with animals and sending him on a quest to rescue a stolen prince. In the face of a bullying tyrant king\, Johnny and his animal friends come to understand that generosity\, empathy\, and quiet courage are gifts more precious in this world than power and gold. \nIlluminated by Erin Stead’s graceful\, humorous\, and achingly poignant artwork\, this is a story that reaches through time and brings us a new book from America’s most legendary writer\, envisioned by two of today’s most important names in children’s literature. \nPhilip Stead is the author of the Caldecott Medal-winning book A Sick Day for Amos McGee. With his wife\, illustrator Erin Stead\, he also created the acclaimed Bear Has a Story to Tell and Lenny & Lucy. Philip has also written and illustrated his own books\, including Hello\, My Name Is Ruby; Jonathan and the Big Blue Boat; and A Home for Bird. Philip and Erin live in northern Michigan. Visit Philip online at philipstead.com. \nErin Stead is the illustrator of eight picture books\, including And Then It’s Spring\, a 2012 and The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles. Visit Erin online at erinstead.com.
