He's remembered for his outdoor stories, but he also wrote librettos, plays, diaries and books. The illustrations are signed Otto Hopp, though he's not credited on the title page. I'm not familiar with his work. So far my research has been unenlightening.===============KEYWORDS/TAGS: Coco Bolo, King, Floating Islands, monarch, Margaret, frances, sister, periwinkle, plush, puppy, Archbishop, Timbuctoo-and-a-half, wooden, subjects, puns, snap-dragon, log book, town crier, action, adventure, fantasy, children’s story, fables, sidford hamp, Colorado, California, Admiral, children, Court, boat, Crew, Thomas A'Becket, policeman, cat, pier, courtiers, throne, Lobsterneck, Blue, box, cocked, carpenter, Daddy, dog-fish, polite, tower, wonder, handkerchief, jumping, pink, pocket, puppy, raft, whisper, aeroplane, blue, gentleman, Ladies,
