Much color, no impact. Pumpernick and Pimpernel's forest garden (two long pages of description), where the two rustics and dog Pudding dwell blissfully (another page), is invaded by assorted ""rowdies""--a giant blue mouse, Pete the Drifter, the Noise Man (i.e. donkey) with his junk cart--who fight to a finish; P & P trundle them off, set them adrift on the river, and put up a sign--""Keep out! Biting dog"" to discourage future interlopers. From Pumpernick and Pimpernel you'd at least expect pumpernickel: what little there is to chew on here is rather disagreeable.
