Mysterious marsh-dwelling yodelers, witches talking to flower beds, and ogres who homeschool their offspring. Percival is a serving boy of the every day kind, working at an inn. He is minding his business, when one evening an extremely hungry knight shows up, followed by a ferocious dragon. A kidnapping ensues and an entire night's worth of clean dishes is smashed up. Percival is soon swept up into what appears to be a simple get-in, get the girl, get-out mission. However, destiny has another plan. Percival finds himself next in line for the Throne, and his merry band of comrades (including a cat, a French friar, and, the noble knight who started it all) are with him every step of the way.

A novel of ambition and obsession centered on the race to discover Pluto in 1930, pitting an untrained Kansas farm boy against the greatest minds of Harvard at the run-down Lowell Observatory in Arizona In 1928, the boy who will discover Pluto, Clyde Tombaugh, is on the family farm, grinding a lens for his own telescope under the immense Kansas sky. In Flagstaff, Arizona, the staff of Lowell Observatory is about to resume the late Percival Lowell's interrupted search for Planet X. Meanwhile, the immensely rich heir to a chemical fortune has decided to go west to hunt for dinosaurs and in Cambridge, Massachussetts, the most beautiful girl in America is going slowly insane while her ex-heavyweight champion boyfriend stands by helplessly, desperate to do anything to keep her. Inspired by the true story of Tombaugh and set in the last gin-soaked months of the flapper era, Percival's Planet tells the story of the intertwining lives of half a dozen dreamers, schemers, and madmen. Following Tombaugh's unlikely path from son of a farmer to discoverer of a planet, the novel touches on insanity, mathematics, music, astrophysics, boxing, dinosaur hunting, shipwrecks--and what happens when the greatest romance of your life is also the source of your life's greatest sorrow.

On Old MacDonald's farm there lived a pig with a wonderful voice. Animals came from miles around just to hear Percival sing; and so did Hiram J. Potter who bought him and took him to London for a career in Grand Opera. But Percival wasn't keen on London so he devised a scheme to get home to the farm. This play offers parts not only for the farm animals, but the scenery ordered by the stage manager has unaccountably failed to turn up, so some actors have to represent a house, trees and so on!Flexible casting
