Oh I did enjoy the satire here, laughed out loud a couple of times. And Ingpen's art is terrific fun. But I don't know that this is a juvenile book, though Elko library filed it as such. An experienced reader might not 'get' enough of the humor to understand what's going on.... ( ) http://librivox.org/the-stolen-white-elephant-by-mark-twain/ More a short story and full of lots of specific satire that I missed but otherwise, great in the fine tradition of Mark Twain. While many elements of civilized culture provided much comic fodder for Mark Twain, detectives occupied a portion of his observations and writing for a time. The story of the Stolen White Elephant, though entirely preposterous, is rumored to be modeled after real life efforts of an actual police department who misplaced the body of a deceased victim. This audio story will leave you laughing out loud. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
