The Duchess of Whimsy is fancy and fussy—and definitely not ordinary—surrounding herself with wild friends, fabulous foods, and fancy dresses. The Earl of Norm (ho hum) is completely ordinary, but he adores the Duchess. She ignores him, until he sneaks off to an ordinary grilled cheese sandwich—and suddenly takes the Duchess's eye. Maybe there's something to simplicity after all.
Join Penguin Storytime Host Liz Shanks as she reads this delicious love story, illustrated by the great New Yorker artist Peter de Sève and written by the bestselling author Randall de Sève.
