Project Gutenberg 2005-07-27 Public domain in the USA. 97 Dennis, C. J. (Clarence James) 1876 1938 Dennis, Clarence James The Glugs of Gosh Reading ease score: 87.2 (6th grade). Easy to read. Produced by Col Choat "The Glugs of Gosh" by C. J. Dennis is a whimsical narrative poem published in the early 20th century. This book tells the engaging tale of the Glugs, a peculiar and comical race inhabiting the fictional land of Gosh, exploring themes of conformity, wisdom, and individuality. With its charming illustrations by Hal Gye, it offers a satirical take on societal norms and human folly through light-hearted verse. The story primarily follows Joi, a Glug who questions the absurdities of Glug life and raises a son named Sym, who grows increasingly aware of their society's flaws. Sym ultimately becomes a tinker and a poet, attempting to challenge the Glug's blind adherence to their traditions, especially as he finds contentment away from Gosh. Throughout the various episodes in the poem, intermingled characters such as the pompous Sir Stodge and the scheming Ogs contribute to the lively satire of governance and compliance. Ultimately, the book captures a delightful blend of humor and wisdom, encouraging readers to seek happiness in simplicity rather than societal validation.
