    'Crump the Cat, ' combines three hilarious satirical tales in one audiobook that the whole family can enjoy. Told in rhyming verse, Crump is an orange tomcat with inherited wealth who is famous for his TV show, the ‘The Appurrentice.’ His fans love Crump’s affluent lifestyle and his bombastic, winner-take-all attitude. When Crump wins the presidency, he promptly turns the world inside out to fit his golden image and creates a dystopia where only orange cats are welcome. Of course, all his short-sighted policies allow for the perfect storm of repression and unintended effects. Crump the Cat is an entertaining allegorical tale in which all kinds of cats come together at the end to triumph over inequality and racial discrimination. 
    'Crump the Cat, ' is described by Midwest Book Review as, "Political satire at its wicked best." As part of the Audiobook there are also two bonus stories included, 'Bobo the Baboon' and 'A Titanic Cruise on the Straight of Hormuz.' Bobo the Baboon tells the story of a flamboyant baboon politician, who runs in to significant trouble in dealing with his pandemic response. 'A Titanic Cruise on the Straight of Hormuz,' features rats in a cautionary tale of the perils of military adventurism. 
    All three satirical stories will keep you laughing as you discover and enjoy all the inside jokes and parallels to today's politics and policies.

    Looking to strike it rich with television gold, an English media tycoon enlists the help of an unassuming novelist to script his small-screen epic, to disastrous—and hilarious—effect The year is 1986, and the cuts imposed by Margaret Thatcher’s government have trickled down to university life, where departments are being forced to shave their payrolls to account for reduced public funding. Meanwhile, at Eldorado Television, a different kind of cut is about to wreak havoc. Lord Mellow, head of the declining studio, watches as his last-ditch effort to produce a hit series falls to pieces. The show’s star, the volatile but vaunted Sir Luke Trimingham, has just declared that he will quit unless the script is entirely rewritten. Desperate to save the project, Eldorado brings university lecturer and author Henry Babbacombe into the fold to write thirteen new episodes of ambitious television—something so grand that the leading man cannot possibly refuse it. But the production is plagued from the start, suffering endless calamities with its unpredictable actors and crew, whose behind-the-scenes drama rivals anything Babbacombe could dream up.
