Saunders, George, , Illustrated by: Lane Smith
The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip
Publisher: Villard, 2000 New York.
ISBN: 1932416374 Book. Book condition: Very Good. H Several tears to dust jacket. Gappers will get your goat. Literally. If you don't brush them off and return them to the ocean, whence they arrive every day, these bright orange, many-eyed creatures will cover your goats, and the goats will stop giving milk. "In a village called Frip, goat's milk was the entire economy. Three families lived there--the Romos, the Ronsens, and a little girl named Capable and her widowed father, who wanted everything to remain the same. It didn't. One day the gappers, despite an average IQ of 3.7, decided for a good reason to concentrate on Capable's goats. Oh, how the Romos and Ronsens turned their backs on the gapper-ridden Capable! Oh, how they indeed lorded it over her! What kinds of creatures are we, on wonders when such selfishiness sooften springs up so spontaneously among us? "And given the coldness of her neighbors' shoulders, what will Capable do about her gapper plague, as her share of the economy dries up? Literally, The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip, with a brilliant sotry by award-ridden short story master George Saund4ers and fifty-two haunting and hilarious illustrations by bestseller plagued artist author Lane Smith, answers that question, by telling atale as ancient as the Bible and as modern as a memo from the Federal Reserve Board. And funnier than both--which isn't saying all that much, admittedly. You don't get to laugh and gaze in visual awe and pleasure all that often when the Golden Rule comes under such serious attack and such staunch defense as it did in Frip. "An adult story for children a children's story for adults, an earthlings' story for aliens, an Oceanside fable for the irremediably landlocked, a capitalist tool for anarchists, a fish story for loaves, The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip represents the classic instant of two young geniuses colliding and colluding. The result is, what else? An instant classic." 84 pages. Fair.
