An audio story of Dad's (Lex09) digestive tract antics. Deftly and cleverly produced by my genius lad (Lex11), possibly award winning. Full of cusses. He promises me he will do the rest of the audio in a couple of installments. Even juicier stuff. Make him do it.




all last names have been "backwardized" to maintain anonymity.
Also, in case you're bad with math, that's me telling the story.

Don't know how old this book is, I bought it for the illustrations, from a used bookseller I used to go see, an old communist in Egg Harbor- he had a real treasure trove and was always fair. There are links to larger images at each of the images below. This is an advertising piece that would never fly today- a kid's story with booze as the treasure.

Ali Baba or the 40 Thieves



Inside front cover: protagonist + distinguished/venerated hooch.



A brave tailor named Ali Baba lived another time in a small town in Persia........



Note the parsing of syllables for young readers.


Translation of caption: "After entering the cave he found a collection of elegant bottles..."
The treasure he found was the fascinatingly historied Benedictine


Caption translated" "He was surprised by the thieves and massacred (accosted?) by them."
Some mauvais-âne lookin' thieves alrighty...


Foul play against the foul


Trans: "He found the carefully hidden secret of Benedictine."
Only 3 people at any time are allowed to know its secret recipe..hence the smug look.


Inside back cover - view of the distillery. The big one is very nice..


Ali Baba finally gets to chill with his cache of Benedictine & Persian pals.
