The Humphreyssey

Today on "Book Rampage" we're taking a look at the story that has the nation captivated. Not Proust, not Joyce, not Shakespeare! No writer has ever DARED to take a baby elephant on such a journey before!

Welcome to Book Rampage. I'm your host, Jacques Lloyd-Snootae. Today we're skipping our regularly scheduled dissection of The Crying Of Lot 49 to look at a small series that has changed everything I know about reading- and I promise you, that's quite a great deal. The series protagonist? A sweet young elephant named Humphrey.

They say that books like Humphrey's Playtime and Humphrey's Farm Adventure are meant for children, but don't you believe it! Much as Paul Auster unraveled the mysteries of identity and human nature in City Of Glass, so too does Sally Hunter peel away the very elephantanity we all carry on our shoulders as we, like Odysseus, find our way through the trials of our lives.

Oh, and the rich tapestry of cohorts that Humphrey will meet! Stripey the Tiger, to me, represents the untamed spirit of youth. I remember the six months I spent on Martha's Vineyard when I was nineteen, and how it molded me into a young man ready to change the world. How many times did I play that Art Garfunkel solo album, eh? Yes, Humphrey, just as Baby Jack is lulled to sleep by Dad, so too was I forced to sleep, my eyes closed to what I could become. Your story is my story, Humphrey! Not since Catcher In The Rye has a book reached me, my voice, who I truly, truly was!

I cannot recommend this four pack of story books enough. Please, throw away your copy of House of Leaves and place all four of these on the shelf between Infinite Jest and White Noise. I'm Jacques Lloyd-Snootae. Until next week.

  • Mummy likes all things organic and makes good for you dinners. She tries out her recipes but it to hard because no one ever likes the same things. Mummy is always tidying up but somehow everywhere is usually messy except when Daddy is in charge, then it's tidy all day. 
  • Daddy gives you gold starts if you help. If Daddy is back from work in time he reads bedtime stories and nearly always falls asleep. Mommy always has to wake him up for dinner
  • Baby Jack is the littlest. He giggles and gurgles all the time and talks baby talk. He dribbles a lot too.
  • Granny and Grandad live a little ways away on the 56 bus. On Saturdays if it isn’t raining, Mummy, Daddy, Lottie, Humphrey and Baby Jack all go for a long walk down the path by the brook, over the bridge, then along a road and through the houses to visit. It takes ages. Mummy says the fresh air will do them good. Grandad is usually in the garden when they get there. Granny says it’s time for some cherry cakes and makes. Humphrey washes his hands really well. She has a look and tells him to do it again
