"I find myself inclined to set down for whomever, before my memory goes kaput altogether, some account of our little community, in particular of what Margie and I consider to have been its most interesting hour: the summer of the Peeping Tom." Something has disturbed the comfortably retired denizens of a pristine Florida-style gated community in Chesapeake Bay country. In the dawn of the new millennium and the evening of their lives, these empty nesters discover that their tidy enclave can be as colorful, shocking, and surreal as any of John Barth's fictional locales. From the high jinks of a toga party to marital infidelities, a baffling suicide pact, and the sudden, apocalyptic destruction of the short-lived development, Barth brings mordant humor and compassion to the lives of characters we all know well. From "one of the most prodigally gifted comic novelists writing in English today" (Newsweek), The Development is John Barth at his most accessible and sympathetic best.Binding Type: Paperback

5 Minute books give story choices with beautiful illustrations
Format: Hardcover
The 5 Minute books are a perfect way to read great stories and see beautiful illustrations every night before bed and not have long stories that takes away from bedtime routines. The book has a variety of choices so kids can select the “story” they would like. My granddaughter loves the princess version but we have so many 5 Minute books!

Cute book, damaged on arrival
Format: Hardcover
The book arrived with some damage to the cover and corners, but the pages inside are fine and the stories are enjoyable. My child liked reading them at bedtime. Consider checking the condition on delivery if you want it gift-ready.

Great book!
Format: Hardcover
The stories may push the 5 minute time, but they are cute and fun. The pictures/artwork are perfect. My child wants certain stories just for the pictures as we go through it. Solid book build as well so can't beat the value.
