Synopsis

Following the success of his New York Times bestseller 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 readers 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 readers 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.

Digital audio edition read by the author.

4 stars = Fantastic and easy to recommend. This is a collection of political satire poems mostly directed towards Trump, though other heinous politicians get their moment as well.

Goodreads review by Deborah on February 13, 2022

A clever humorous political satire of rhymes reminding us of the outrageous antics and reign of ex-President Trump and his cohorts. The actor and author did not hold back in this second collection as he wanted “to make you laugh, to make you mad, and to make you remember.” As the book was released d......more

Goodreads review by Katy on October 05, 2020

Fan-trumping-tastic. Lithgow doesn't hide his politics. And good for him that he doesn't. This collection reminds you of the sheer amount of outrageous goings-on in the last few years, each one forgotten as the next climbs on top of it begging for attention. I hadn't seen the first Trump collection of......more
