Readers will delight in James Marshall's award-winning classic tales of George and Martha-two beloved, wise, and hilarious hippos! Story Number One: Split Pea Soup Oh, no! Martha made split pea soup again! How can George tell Martha that he hates split pea soup without hurting her feelings? Story Number Two: The Flying Machine When George's flight does not go as planned, Martha knows just the right thing to say.

Five additional stories about the friendship between two hippos: The Box, The High Board, The Trick, The Job, The Book.

George and Martha meet in a seedy motel room on the night before the Republican National Convention. Their affair goes way back, before George stole the election, before Martha built an empire on fascist domesticity. As usual, George numbs his pain over waging perpetual war with cocaine and the promise of kinky sex. Martha is forced to take a long view of her life as she suffers the public humiliation of corporate scandal, on the brink of going to prison. Written in the style of Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, George & Martha is Karen Finley's most scandalous work to date, a hilarious satire that takes a radical stand on political power, psychosexual relations between men and women, and the current state of affairs. Lavishly illustrated with drawings by the author.

Another quintet of stories about the pleasures and problems of a great friendship: The Sweet Tooth, The Misunderstanding, The Hypnotist, The Special Gift, and The Photograph.
