But when an open-minded professor-the one adult who still believes in the Whangdoodle-joins forces with three children with active imaginations, they become an unstoppable team on a fantastic and sometimes terrifying journey to Whangdoodleland.
When that lack of faith became widespread, the last of the really great Whangdoodles created a special land full of extraordinary creatures: furry Flukes, the sly High-Behind Splintercat, and the wonderful Whiffle Bird. What on earth is a Whangdoodle? A "fanciful creature of undefined nature," it was also once the wisest, kindest, most fun-loving living thing in the world-until people stopped believing in it. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This edition includes a foreword by Julie Andrews. The novel was originally published in 1974. Only by skill and determination were the four travelers able to discover the last of the really great Whangdoodles and grant him his heart's desire. But waiting for them was the scheming Prock, who would use almost any means to keep them away from his beloved king. With the Professor's help, they discovered the secret way. And when he told the three Potter children of his search for the spectacular creature, Lindy, Tom, and Ben were eager to reach Whangdoodleland. Professor Savant believed in the Whangdoodle. It was an almost perfect place where the last of the really great Whangdoodles could rule his kingdom with "peace, love and a sense of fun"-apart from and forgotten by people.īut not completely forgotten.
Then he disappeared and created a wonderful land for himself and all the other remarkable animals-the ten-legged Sidewinders, the little furry Flukes, the friendly Whiffle Bird, and the treacherous, "oily" Prock. The Whangdoodle was once the wisest, the kindest, and the most extraordinary creature in the world.
Perfect for young readers who love whimsical stories about magic! The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles was the second children’s novel ever written by Julie Andrews, the beloved star of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music.
