The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles is sure to continue to delight readers everywhere.Julie (Andrews) Edwards' Whangdoodleland is a fanciful candyland Oz visited by the three earnestly British Potter children and their guide, Professor Savant, a Nobel-prizewinning geneticist who is ""the nicest person in the whole world next to Mummy and Daddy"" and who seeks nothing in life but to view the great Whangdoodle, a sort of mythological antlered horse who grows his own slippers, a different style each year. Julie Andrews Edwards, star of stage and screen, has written a unique and beloved story that has become a modern classic.
Only by skill and determination were the four travelers able to discover the last of the really great Whangdoodles and grant him his heart's desire. But waiting for them was the scheming Prock, who would use almost any means to keep them away from his beloved king. With the Professor's help, they discovered the secret way. And when he told the three Potter children of his search for the spectacular creature, Lindy, Tom, and Ben were eager to reach Whangdoodleland.
Professor Savant believed in the Whangdoodle. It was an almost perfect place where the last of the really great Whangdoodles could rule his kingdom with "peace, love and a sense of fun"- apart from and forgotten by people. Then he disappeared and created a wonderful land for himself and all the other remarkable animals - the ten-legged Sidewinders, the little furry Flukes, the friendly Whiffle Bird, and the treacherous, "oily" Prock.
The Whangdoodle was once the wisest, the kindest, and the most extraordinary creature in the world. Very light wear on cover corners and previous owner's name is on the first blank page.
