Dillweed’s parents go on adventures and leave him behind with Umblud the butler and Perfidia the maid, who treat him like their slave. Neither Umblud or Perfidia or the parents appreciate Dillweed’s cherished pet, a creature named Skorped. When they threaten Skorped’s life and well-being, Dillweed opens his black box and casts the runes, which releases smoky monsters, who do the dirty deeds. And then it’s Dillweed turn to go on adventures.
The story is a little morbid, but it makes sense because I found out Florence Parry Heide has also had her books illustrated by Edward Gorey in the past (you were right, May!). Carson Ellis has illustrated several bestselling childrens' books and is known for making art for the Decemberists.
It's always fun making food with friends.
