{"product_id":"9780764966057","title":"Adventures of Gremlin","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this fairly far-fetched fairy tale, a plucky little girl named Gremlin and her brother, Zeppelin, leave their childhood home a woodsman's cottage, of course in the kingdom of Etaoin and set out to see the world. Clambering through an enchanted forest and navigating pirate-infested seas en route to the Royal Palace (where a drastic change of circumstance awaits), they encounter a host of quirky characters beyond anything the Brothers Grimm ever imagined. Yes, there are knights (good and evil), a giant and the requisite fairy godmother. But there's also an inn full of doom-and-gloom beatniks, a peevish wombat, a poet whose limericks probe the meaning of life and a flightless parrot who spouts Latin. Anything but a fainthearted waif, Gremlin takes surprises and setbacks in stride, retaining her innocence and good humour all the while. DuPre Jones's witty, clever and decidedly grown-up text full of puns, double entendres, literary references and sly characterisations of human foibles coupled with pen-and-ink illustrations by renowned artist Edward Gorey makes The Adventures of Gremlin a devilishly fun read for adults, as well as a welcome update to the Gorey illustration canon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pomegranate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46355948470444,"sku":"9780764966057","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6626\/7820\/files\/9417173482460.jpg?v=1781630066","url":"https:\/\/giftshop.carlemuseum.org\/products\/9780764966057","provider":"The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
