Was there ever such a husband
A classic find from the Faber archive and a sure hit on Father's Day!
The story of a man who creates more trouble for himself than he could ever have expected, will bring a smile to every dad's face. It's also a hilarious fable to read to children - as you would expect from a story that features a dad getting stuck in a chimney due to a cow falling off a roof . . .
Wanda Gag (1893-1946) was born in New Ulm, Minnesota, the daughter of an artist and the eldest of seven children. Wanda initiated the double-page spread, designing two facing pages as one panoramic scene. In recognition of her rare artistry, she was the posthumous recipient of the 1958 Lewis Carroll Shelf Award for Millions of Cats and the 1977 Kerlan Award for the body of her work.
