  Following his hilarious introduction to Paris in French Like Moi, Midwesterner Scott Dominic Carpenter returns to the scene of the crime with more tales of intrigue. 
  This time, though, the story starts with sorrow as Carpenter's wife struggles with dementia. Humor may be the best medicine, but even the antics of a vandal in their building can’t cement the tiles of her memory for long. Before he expects it, the author finds himself alone in a capital that is also blighted by the pandemic. 
  It’s against this backdrop that the city comes roaring back to life. From bizarre encounters on the Metro to comical clashes with authority figures, and even a quixotic battle against a flock of migrant parrots, Paris Lost and Found unveils sides of the great city that are as quirky as they are authentic. With his unique blend of wit, insight, and wistfulness, Carpenter charts a path through his new labyrinth of solitude—only to emerge on the other side, squinting into the bright light of hope and new beginnings.

  Meet Dave. Dave is Prime Minister. Dave really wants to do the right thing. He keeps telling us he wants to do the right thing. Again and again and again. One afternoon he told us four times in half an hour.
  
  
  
  Then he went off and did the right thing. Every morning when he wakes up, he reminds himself to remind us that he's doing the right thing.
  
  
  
  But what is the right thing? And what is the wrong thing? And is doing the right thing the right thing or the wrong thing to do? Or is doing the wrong thing the right thing to do when doing the right thing might turn out to be the wrong thing, and doing the wrong thing might turn out to be the right thing?
  
  
  Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER
  
  
  You can always count on Americans to do the right thing – after they've tried everything else WINSTON CHURCHILL
  
  
  Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing TONY BLAIR
  
  
  If I lose the ball, I lose it trying to do the right thing. That's the way it is. FRANK LAMPARD

  This is a collection of some of the delightful nonsense verses and stories by Edward Lear. A lot of them are also my favorites. The Jumblies, The Owl and the Pussy-cat; the Broom, the Shovel, The Poker and the Tongs; The Duck and the Kangaroo; The Cummerbund; The Dong with the Luminous Nose; The New Vestments; Calico Pie; The courtship of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo and Incidents in the Life of My Uncle Arly. Also included at no extra cost are two sections with my favorite Lear limericks. Only about 30 of them but they are all funny and full of delectable silliness. I hope you enjoy listening to these as much as I enjoyed recording them.

  When the Chaparrals decide to relocate to the small town of Waverly, Indiana, they inadvertently sign their son up for a trial-by-fire. Coming of age at the dawn of the new millennium, Jay Chaparral must also come to terms with the strange sights and sounds that occur in Waverly. These odd occurrences have nothing to do with the unfulfilled Mayan or Christian prophecies hanging in the air at the time. Are they like rocks, thrown at random, into a solitary pond? Or are they like stepping stones across Waverly's stream, leading Jay toward something greater? The phenomena are sometimes substance-induced, but just as often they come entirely unsolicited. When Jay and his accomplices decide to test Waverly, Jay begins to discover a sinister presence at work in the town. Waverly has a magnetic pull that few escape, physically or mentally, but Jay was the one that got away. Here, for the first time, Jay shares his tales from the midwestern front.
