Nollop was named after Nevin Nollop, author of the immortal pangram, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." Now Ella finds herself acting to save her friends, family, and fellow citizens from the encroaching totalitarianism of the island?s Council, which has banned the use of certain letters of the alphabet as they fall from a memorial statue of Nevin Nollop. As the letters progressively drop from the statue they also disappear from the novel. The result is both a hilarious and moving story of one girl?s fight for freedom of expression, as well as a linguistic tour de force sure to delight word lovers everywhere. 651 0 $a South Carolina $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Communal living $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Islands $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Epistolary fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fables. $2 gsafd 650 1 $a Fables. $2 gsafd 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/bios/random054/2002066459.html 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random043/2002066459.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/random048/2002066459.html 941 $a 21 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314031641.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629011420.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802021744.0 952 $l PEPC626 $d 20220505010952.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20220223011454.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20211215033236.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215023108.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722051840.0 952 $l AQPC277 $d 20201212010707.0 952 $l BZPC851 $d 20191227081659.0 952 $l XEPE697 $d 20190123011426.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107035237.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006084247.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20170118035556.0 952 $l XFPB697 $d 20160506011742.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20150901011626.0 952 $l JZPB162 $d 20150409061438.0 952 $l OSAX771 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l LXPB815 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC51DD062B0311DE8B76D107A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
