Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cucumber Chronicles a Book to Be Taken in Slices The sky is cloudless, the sun is brilliant. The wind has dropped, the sail flaps idly, there is a faint rustle of the foliage, and a tiny ripple gurgles musically against the stem of the good ship Shuttlecock, as I drift lazily down the dear old River. It is one of the finest days we have had this year: it is tremendously hot, and "Cucumber Chronicles" hath to mine ear a refreshing sound. It is suggestive of restful ease, a merry dinner and cool drinks, when I make the pleasant port of Henley at eventide. It even suggests something more. Do I not remember an old friend of ray youth, whose delightful adventures have been a source of untold joy to all of us - Captain Lemuel Gulliver? Cannot I recall his visit to a certain Academy and all he saw there? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
