The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine BSW1114

US$49.95

In 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.

1879年的一个夜晚,在巴黎的一家旅馆里,女儿们围坐在马克·吐温身边,请求她们的父亲讲个故事。她们从一本杂志上选了一幅图作为引子,马克·吐温开始讲强尼的故事:一个贫穷而孤独的男孩强尼,只有一只叫“瘟疫和饥荒”的鸡真正给他作伴;在吃了一朵魔法种子开出的花之后,强尼拥有了听懂动物们说话的能力,去拯救一个被绑架的王子……后来,吐温草草记下了一份粗略的笔记,但故事一直没有写完。
一百多年后,这份笔记偶然被人从加州大学伯克利分校的马克·吐温文献档案馆找出来,作为一个新故事的基础,由凯迪克金奖得主菲利普·斯蒂德和埃琳·斯蒂德重新开始创作。菲利普·斯蒂德在这份粗略笔记的指引下,把一个未完成的故事发展成了这部作品。埃琳·斯蒂德的插画,优雅、幽默,极为动人。这是一个穿越了时光的故事,一部由当今儿童文学界最有影响力的两个人物重赋新生的美国最传奇作家的儿童图画书处女作。
