Books with author Adrien Stoutenburg

These are folklore and nonsense stories drawn and adapted from old newspapers, periodicals or out of print volumes. Titles include these and others: Squonks, Whiffle-pooffles, and Gillygaloos; Old Sock and the Swimming Pigs; Biters, Hoppers, and Feathered Floppers; The Hoss-mackerel and Bassoon Bobby; and Big Bucks and Bullfrogs. There are a few black pen drawings.

Sometime in the early part of the twenty-first century, cities lay sterile under steel and plastic domes. It is the only world a teenager can know. Earlier generations violated every rule of ecology and laid plunder to their country. Somewhere, though, out there was another world. There might be animals. There might be other life. There might be death. Somehow, Lester, a romantic follower of St. Francis of Assisi; sturdy, strong Patrick; intelligent, but insecure Sylvie; shy, fat Fay; and eight-year-old Knobs, along with Zebrina Vanderbrook would find a way out into the brave old world Out There!
