    About this ebook

    Have you ever wondered about all the crime in fairy tales?
    For example:Why did the dish abduct the spoon? Was there ransom involved?
    Who mutilated the three blind mice, and why?
    Was Willie Winkie a misunderstood somnambulist or a peeping tom?
    What was Miss Peep really doing with those sheep?
    Was Jack Sprat anorexic, or did his wife snarf all his food?
    NOW IT CAN BE TOLD!
    David Kopaska-Merkel's grim tour-de-farce, Nursery Rhyme Noir, details some three dozen of the most egregious offenses solved by Kopaska-Merkel's intrepid detective, Hasp Deadbolt. With noirish illustrations and cover by A. R. Stone.
