Description: Product Details A Confederacy of Dumptys: Portraits of American Scoundrels in Verse by John Lithglow EAN: 9781797209470 ISBN: 1797209477 Publisher: Chronicle Books First Edition: 2021, Hardcover Product Dimensions: 0.7 x 8.7 x 6.3 inches Pages: 112 Language: English BOOK OVERVIEW The third New York Times bestseller in John Lithgow's satirical poetry series. Following the success of Dumpty and Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown, award-winning actor, author, and illustrator John Lithgow presents the third book in his runaway hit series. While the blatant corruption and abuse of power of the Trump era was shocking, it was actually nothing new. In A Confederacy of Dumptys, Lithgow shifts his focus to some of the biggest scoundrels in American history, from Richard Nixon to Newt Gingrich, Leona Helmsley to the Sackler family. He deftly wields the power of the limerick and line-drawing to describe despicable events such as Watergate and the January 6th insurrection. American history, Lithgow reveals, is rife with powerful and deeply crooked men and women. Delivered in verse filled with his trademark wit and cutting humor, and accompanied by clever illustrations, this exuberant book tells the stories-corrupt, criminal, or just plain crummy-of history's long-forgotten villains and today's most prominent bad actors.
