London is poised on the brink of World War 11. Timid, scrawny Willie Beech -- the abused child of a single mother -- is evacuated to the English countryside. At first, he is terrified of everything, of the country sounds and sights, even of Mr. Tom, the gruff, kindly old man who has taken him in. But gradually Willie forgets the hate and despair of his past. He learns to love a world he never knew existed, a world of friendship and affection in which harsh words and daily beatings have no place. Then a telegram comes. Willie must return to his mother in London. When weeks pass by with no word from Willie, Mr. Tom sets out for London to look for the young boy he has come to love as a son.

The grown-up answer to Where's Waldo has finally arrived--take a plunge into the world of the Willies in this hilariously irreverent and naughty eye spy book Willy has hidden himself away in all sorts of nooks, crannies, and holes--and it's up to you to root him out. Search the pages of this beautifully illustrated book for tiny Willy amidst gorgeous two page spreads as he bikes through Vegas, takes in a baseball game, and so much more. The concept is slightly rude, but the book is not filled with huge, graphic images of male members. The material is handled in a delicate manner and is sure to get a good laugh out of sausage chasers everywhere. With three star characters throughout who bear an uncanny resemblance to Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, and Michael Douglas, the search for little Willies around the world has begun!

Once you've entered this book, you've entered the bowels of horror. You can leave at anytime. In fact, you can come and go as you please.
