Published posthumously in 1995, this New York Times bestseller tells the story of a jester and his helpmate, Pharley, who search the world to find where laughter has gone, teaching readers that the power to be happy lies within us all. Its large landscape format and radiant, energetic color illustrations make it a marvelous addition to a collector's shelf of iconic 20th-century children's literature.
