Lovey and Dovey have stolen each other's hearts. And a pair of blue socks from the shop on the corner. That's why they're in prison. Iron bars won't keep Dovey from sneaking out of their dungeon every night to bring back presents for his Lovey, though. If a beautiful view of the sun and the sea (peeled off of the local ocean and placed on their wall) isn't enough, perhaps the moon and the stars, an apple tree, and other impossible treats will suffice. The pair of robbers have made their cell so comfortable that, when released, they don't know what to do. Fortunately, an attractive pair of pink socks sends them right back home. Lovey and Dovey is a warmly humorous story that will steal the reader's heart. Reviews
"Quirky, playful and altogether inviting." "This offbeat story features a loving couple who share a jail cell in the “most dismal dungeon of Katakom” because they stole a pair of blue socks. ... Their unusual method of transforming their cell, along with this charming jailbird-pair’s solution to the problem of their unwanted freedom, will have readers chuckling." |
"A winsome prison fable from the Netherlands.
