Little did he know that a boatload of hungry sailors coupled with his knack for creative problem-solving would yield one of the worlds most prized and beloved pastries. Lively and inventive cut-paper illustrations add a taste of whimsy to this sweet fact-filled story that includes an extensive bibliography authors note and timeline.
