description: "Leaping into a shirt and thrusting his arms into his pant legs, the Absentminded Fellow dashes out into the London streets, frantically hails a cab, rushes through the train station and right into an abandoned car. Three days later, to his surprise, he's still in London...This droll character portrait will quickly have listeners chiming in on the chorus."-Kirkus ReviewsFrom the time he puts his pants on his arms until he tries to buy a train ticket at the flower shop, "that absentminded fellow from Portobello Road" bumbles from one muddle to the next./ This translation is an adaptation of 'Vot kakoi rasseyannii'.
