Great American humorist James Thurber's beloved, madcap, and eerily timely fairy tale about an island society robbed of the wonders of the letter O--in a stunning Deluxe Edition featuring flaps, deckle-edged paper, and the original, full-color illustrations Littlejack has a map that indicates the existence of a treasure on a far and lonely island, and Black has a ship to get there. So the two bad men team up and sail off on Black's vessel, the Aeiu. The name, Black explains, is all the vowels except for O--which he hates since his mother got wedged in a porthole: They couldn't pull her in, so they had to push her out. Black and Littlejack arrive at the port and demand the treasure. No one knows anything about it, so they have their henchmen ransack the place--to no avail. But Black has a better idea: He will take over the island and purge it of O. ("I'll issue an edict ") The harsh limits of a life sans O (where shoe is she and woe is we) and how finally with a little luck and lots of pluck the islanders shake off their overbearing interlopers and discover the true treasure for themselves (Oh yes--and get back their O's)--these are only some of the surprises that await readers of James Thurber's timelessly zany fairy tale about two louts who try to lock up the language--and lose. It is a tour de force of wordplay that will delight fans of Lewis Carroll, Dr. Seuss, Edward Lear, and Roald Dahl, and a timely reminder of how people can band together in the name of freedom to overthrow a tyrant.

Strong, absorbent and a good price!
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
These are good paper towels. Not thin at all. Strong, absorbent and capable of cleaning as well as the 'name' brand paper towels but at a much better price. I'm happy with them.

Works well
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
There is nothing special about this product but it works fine. The only thing is that the paper towels are rough and thin, rather than a thick and soft. They fit perfectly on our paper towel rack so that’s nice. I recommend this product if you don’t care how your paper towels feel.

Ehh.. Not bad but not great…
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
The price point on these paper towels is pretty good, but you are definitely getting what you pay for. The quality is not that great in my opinion. They are very thin and not the most absorbent. So, if you prefer a thicker and more absorbent paper towel, I’d probably suggest another option.

Wash Your Hands!
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
Great deal for the quality of these paper towels! We order them from Amazon for the office every time! They're the perfect size for use in the bathrooms or the kitchen area, so very versatile. They are very soft paper towels and absorb moisture easily.

Thin and scratchy
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
Unbelievably thin, brittle and terrible quality. Couldn’t wait to use them up. Like trying to sop up spills with a saltine cracker. Might consider these at half the listed price but for the incremental cost difference, actual quality paper towels are worth it to me. Lesson learned.
