# Barnaby Volume Two - Hardcover

by **Crockett Johnson** (Author), **Daniel Clowes** (Cover Design by), **Jules Feiffer** (Introduction by)

The long-lost comic strip masterpiece by Crockett Johnson, legendary children's book author (_Harold and the Purple Crayon_, _The Carrot Seed_), collected in full and designed by graphic novelist and Barnaby superfan Daniel Clowes (_Ghost World_, _Wilson_). Vol. 2 collects the years 1944-1945 of 5-year-old Barnaby Baxter and his Fairy Godfather J.J. O'Malley's misadventures. The cigar-chomping, bumbling con-artist and fast-talker O'Malley takes Barnaby on a trip to D.C. to serve his term in Congress. Also, Gus the Ghost and O'Malley follow the Baxters to their seaside cottage, enlisting Barnaby to join them on a treasure hunt. Plus Wall St., Ermine hunters, soap salesmen and more! Adored by all ages, Barnaby's deft balance of fantasy, timeless humor and elegant cartooning will delight even the most sophisticated reader (Chris Ware (_Building Stories_) loves it), much as it did in its original run, attracting fans as diverse as Dorothy Parker, Charles Schulz, W.C. Fields, Gardner Rea, Milton Caniff, Rockwell Kent and Louis Untermeyer.
