It is well known how the Camel got his hump, but why the turtle put on its shell, or why the rabbit has dandelion ears, are only known well to an odd few, for all such reasonings happened rather long ago and in a variety of preferably unpredictable places. A wonderfully entertaining piece of gibberish for readers of any age, freckled with strikingly delicate illustrations. Inspired by Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, and other nonsense, Jack Brutus Penny takes his years of experience as an illustrator, riddle writer and English lecturer to guide us through the linguistically absurd anecdotes of why things came to be, just so, in truth. 16 different short nonsense stories on odd animal traits and how they came to be, interspersed with poems and tidbits, In Truth Stories is a lovely book for readers of all ages to enjoy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Brutus Penny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 4908906025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9784908906022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jbp Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Jack Brutus Penny","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800805355775,"sku":"9784908906022","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-truth-stories-jack-brutus-penny-9784908906022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
