Dumpty: The Age of Trump in Verse is Volume 1 of a satirical poetry collection from award-winning actor and best-selling author John Lithgow. Chronicling the last few raucous years in American politics, Lithgow takes listeners verse by verse through the history of Donald Trump's presidency.

  • Lampoons the likes of Betsy DeVos, William Barr, Rudy Giuliani, and dozens more.
  • Illustrated from cover to cover with Lithgow's never-before-seen line drawings.
  • Draws inspiration from A. A. Milne, Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, and even Mother Goose.
  • Great for fans of A Very Stable Genius by Mike Luckovich, Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter by Scott Adams, and The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library by The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

The poems collected in Dumpty draw inspiration from A. A. Milne, Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Mother Goose, and many more.

A feat of laugh-out-loud lyrical storytelling, this timely audiobook is bound to bring joy to poetry lovers, political junkies, and Lithgow fans alike.

John Lithgow is a treat and a national treasure

John Lithgow is a genius, but we all knew that. Whether you were introduced to him via third rock from the sun, or his many many serious roles, John never ceases to amaze and this is just an extension of that.

The audio book version and the print copy, in my humble opinion, are both necessary to enjoy the book fully.

If you pick up the print version, you are missing out on John's witty delivery, and if you pick up the audio book only, you'll miss out on that amazing illustrations.

Fun for the whole family.
