Produktbeschreibung

Learn about: . An opossum who enjoyed X-rated movies. . A canine thief with an appetite for eggs. . A man who lost out on $38,000 in valuable pearls because he liked his oysters cooked instead of raw. . Strange events and creatures off the California coast. . A recipe for Pius IV's favorite dish - frog livers. . A statewide event where California school children were asked to kill as many ground squirrels as possible, verifying their kills by bringing the tails to school! These are but a few of the stories largely centered around Long Beach, California, which have appeared over the past 130 years. Most have remained forgotten, until now. How much is true and how much "tongue in cheek" I will leave up to the reader to decide. In any case, they are they are fun, humorous and sure to entertain.
