Ferding and the Fly, Book I: A Ballad of Garbage and Picnics

By Christopher Thomas Elliott

The heroi-comic poem Ferding and the Fly recounts the battles between a misfit boy on a fly-swatting crusade and a daring fly on an Epicurean quest. The first of five volumes, Ferding and the Fly Book I: A Ballad of Garbage and Picnics pits the picnickers of Land against the insects of Landfill Island in a saga rich with adventure and villainy. Seussian wordplay meets Swiftian satire as the Fly seeks tasty trash and Ferding pursues fly-swatting glory. The cast ranges from an artsy gnat to a pragmatic ant, from bug-loving rebels to a pesticidal maniacs. It's Beowulf with bugs.
