Charming story of a boy's journeys for the perfect food to define the word "delicious" in his father (a prime minister)'s kingdom's new dictionary. I shan't give away what finally makes the cut.

This is my second favorite Babbitt book. Like Kneeknock Rise, it reminds me of Hermann Hesse's writing. Charming!
