If you read this book's dedication, you'll find that Gelett Burgess calls this humorous and merry novel a "scherzo variant of an old theme." The story is that of a young man who stands to inherit a million dollars if he marries within a prescribed time. The time limit in this case is a mere fourteen hours. Thus, in a frantic attempt to claim his million, Halle Banistelle, artist-photographer and playboy, proposes to three women at once, and is accepted by all of them. Luckily for him one takes his hand in marriage for love alone, with the million dollar inheritance incidentally thrown in. Even though the plot is a familiar one, Burgess's fast paced and witty prose makes this light read both lively and entertaining.

Experience for yourself the treasure that inspired generations of children's authors, including the young Dr. Seuss. Gelett Burgess first published Goops and How to be Them in 1900, giving life to a set of characters he would continue to develop over several decades, through numerous books and even a comic strip. This collection contains the two most popular of these, the original Goops and How to be Them and its sequel, More Goops and How Not to be Them. We've even included an excerpt from The Burgess Nonsense Book that showcases an entire Alphabet of Famous Goops!
