description: "A get-rich-quick scheme to 'capture a one-eyed man, put him in a cage in the marketplace, and charge a penny a look' proves to be more than pound foolish in this trenchant cautionary tale...Delightfully droll, fancifully detailed pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations add enormously to the wry, sly proceedings."-Starred/School Library Journal."Genuinely funny."-The Horn Book
