About the Book

'"That was horrendous," commented the Hungry Tiger, though at that time 'horrend' was probably a milder more casual word, indeed it had no 'p's or 'q's so could not have been too formal.' It is well known how the Camel got his hump, but why the turtle put on its shell, or why the rabbit has dandelion ears, are only known well to an odd few, for all such reasonings happened rather long ago and in a variety of preferably unpredictable places. A wonderfully entertaining piece of gibberish for readers of any age, freckled with strikingly delicate illustrations. Inspired by Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, and other nonsense, Jack Brutus Penny takes his years of experience as an illustrator, riddle writer and English lecturer to guide us through the linguistically absurd anecdotes of why things came to be, just so, in truth. 16 different short nonsense stories on odd animal traits and how they came to be, interspersed with poems and tidbits, In Truth Stories is a lovely book for readers of all ages to enjoy.
About the Author: Jack Brutus Penny was born in September 1986 in London, England, and grew up in the north London area. After graduating with a degree is Psychology, he moved to Kanagawa, Japan. Since then he has had a variety of jobs, including that of an English lecturer, a private interpreter, a freelance graphic designer, a writer and an illustrator. His works, all in the nonsense genre, include volumes from the Riddle Me Collection, In Truth Stories, and The Allegaurus (in editing). 'I find nonsense comes quite naturally to me. Possibly because I have a good grasp of imagination and an even worse grasp of how to communicate it. It also helps that I'm a dyslexic living in Tokyo, so I've forgotten half my English, and the other half I could never spell.'
