Herschel Sternlieb's Adventures of King Bushy Tushy is in the great
tradition of satire, wit, and searing insight - this time into the
selected President, his courtiers, and their misleadership as if
greed and blunders matter.

Born in 1927.
Spent the Depression on my Grandfather's farm in Connecticut.
In 1939, my father finally got a job and we moved to Boston.
What followed was High School, the U.S. Army, College, steady employment,
self-employment, marriage, children, grandchildren, Social Security,
arthritis, fallen arches, cynicism and the writing of fables. For most of my
working career, I managed textile plants, the last being the W.S. Libbey
Co. in Lewiston. I hold 15 patents in textile technology and continue to
consult in that area, served in the CID in Manila at the end of WW2, was a
member of the Brunswick Democratic Town Committee before joining the Greens,
served on the board of Brunswick Technologies, currently serve on the board
of the United Nations Association., and am a regular contributor to the
Green Horizon Quarterly. I am the self-appointed official biographer of
King Bushy Tushy and look forward to the end of his public career.
