      About the Book

      The great "New Yorker" artist Peter de Seve teams up with the author of bestselling "Toy Boat" in a slightly outrageous fairy tale.

      The Duchess of Whimsy is fancy and fussyaand definitely not ordinaryasurrounding herself with wild friends, fabulous foods, and fancy dress. The Earl of Norm (ho hum) is completely ordinary, but he adores the Duchess. She ignores him, until the chef gets sick, and her friends have to make a super supperawhich includes tracking down truffles, spinning sugar stars, and looking for quail eggs.

      But the Earl is hungry He sneaks off to an ordinary grilled cheese sandwichaand suddenly takes the Duchessas eye. Maybe thereas something to simplicity after all. Maybe thereas something to the Earl after all . . .

      This deliciously told and illustrated love story by the remarkable de SA]ves shows how utterly charming and extraordinary a picture book can be.
