Publisher's summary

Following the success of his New York Times best seller Dumpty, award-winning actor, author, and illustrator John Lithgow presents a brand-new collection of satirical poems chronicling the despotic age of Donald Trump.

Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown is darker and more hard-hitting than ever. Lithgow writes and draws with wit and fury as he takes listeners through another year of the shocking events involving Trump and his administration. His uproarious poems and illustrations encompass Trump's impeachment, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter protests, and much more. Lithgow targets Mitch McConnell, Mike Pompeo, Bill Barr, Jared Kushner, Elaine Chao, and many others, but also includes a few heroes of the moment, including Anthony Fauci, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and even Barack Obama.

The book arrives at a time when it's needed most. With all-new poems and never-before-seen line drawings, Lithgow will once again make listeners laugh and pause to remember some of the most defining moments in recent history - skewering the reign of King Dumpty one stanza at a time.

Lithgow nails it!

Historically accurate and deliciously naughty!
Dumpty is such a colorful, well mostly orange, target for a creative genius like John Lithgow!

He has a gift for words

Thank you Mr Lithgow for taking a scary depressing subject and making me laugh instead of cry. I love this book for its creativity and political humor. The first book Dumpty was fantastic, this one did not let me down either.

The PERFECT Holiday Season Gift

This timely prose is PERFECT for sharing with like-minded individuals around the Feasting Table this Holiday Season as we reflect upon the past four years. Nothing is better than when the TRUTH is said out loud. Reminiscing of the fallacies of this 'Residency' with others can gird our loins with JL's comical honesty for the backlash and nurturing needed with the Fellow Americans we walk amongst.

Sharing is caring, giving these poetic musings as we move forward into 2021 may strengthen the readers' soul and ready them to quell the systemic tide that may arise with those Fellow Americans in the next 2024 electoral process.
