Sure, it's a fantasy. But it's also a fable. And it's funny. And it *is* possible to grow herbs, at least, in an apartment. And it *is* possible to find a building owner willing to think outside the box and solve problems. I will look for the other more obscure titles by this team when I visit little old libraries and small town thrift stores.
This book is lots of fun, a new take on Old MacDonald!
