(3) K-3 Illustrated by Frané Lessac. Real-life charlatan "Louis de Rougemont" stunned turn-of-the-twentieth-century London audiences with tales of strange creatures and fantastic adventures. Through the episodic text and folksy gouache illustrations, readers are given a glimpse into the life of this obscure historical figure and his ultimate downfall; epilogue notes suggest that some of Louis's tales were based on fact, leaving readers to ultimately draw their own conclusions. Bib.
