Description
xAdventure 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. Among his other titles are his Dickensian pastiche, The Last Christmas of Ebenezer Scrooge, The Passion of Frankenstein, as well as the terrifying Fantastique.
His numerous best-selling anthologies include 13 Plays of Ghosts and the Supernatural and other theatre collections; The Game is Afoot and other Sherlock Holmes anthologies, and many fantasy/science fiction books for the Science Fiction Book Club, such as Ghosts, Masterpieces of Terror and the Supernatural, The Vampire Sextette, and The Fair Folk, which won the World Fantasy Award for Best Anthology of 2006.
Thanks to permission from The Rex Stout Estate, he has written more than twenty new Nero Wolfe mystery stories and is working on more. He is the editor of Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine, and both editor and co-publisher of America's oldest supernatural periodical, Weird Tales magazine (dating back to 1923!)
As an actor/director, he is Artistic Director of The Open Book, New York's oldest readers theatre ensemble. He has appeared on and off Broadway; and as a magician has performed around the country.
And he really, really wants you to buy this book. And possibly all of his others.
