The Brothers' Bakery
The Brothers' Bakery is a story inspired from the folktale, Little Jack and Lazy John. The book is written in poetic verse form and staged in a colorful depiction of the medieval era. Its intended audience is kindergarten through age eleven, but also appeals to those in their teens as well as adults.
This fictional picture book is about twin brothers, Pimal and Jimal, who own and operate the family bakery in the city of Dane. One day, the greedy king from the kingdom ventures into the shop and takes a fond liking to all he sees. He decides to make Jimal an offer for the sweet smelling bakery. When Jimal graciously declines the king's offer, the king becomes furious. Not wanting to appear greedy and unjust by simply seizing the bakery, he decides to challenge Jimal to a contest with the bakery as the prize. When Pimal returns home, Jimal tells him about the king's proposition and Pimal, the wiser of the brothers, cleverly devises a plan of his own to keep the bakery out of the hands of the greedy king.
