Publisher's Synopsis

Ye Gods And Little Fishes is a satirical novel written by James A. Henshall in the year 1900. The book is a parody of the Argonautic expedition in search of the Golden Fleece, a famous Greek myth. The story follows the adventures of a group of heroes who set sail on the Argo, a ship built by the goddess Athena, in order to retrieve the Golden Fleece from Colchis.However, the journey is not an easy one, and the heroes face many challenges and obstacles along the way. They encounter strange creatures, such as the giant Cyclops and the dreaded Sirens, and must navigate treacherous waters and hostile lands. To make matters worse, the gods themselves seem to be against them, causing storms and other disasters to befall the crew.Despite all of these difficulties, the heroes press on, determined to complete their mission and claim the Golden Fleece. Along the way, they engage in humorous banter and witty repartee, making light of the epic nature of their quest.Overall, Ye Gods And Little Fishes is a humorous and entertaining take on a classic myth, poking fun at the heroic tropes and conventions of the genre. It is a lighthearted read that will appeal to fans of satire and mythology alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
