The Village of Cream Puffs (landing note)

The device: hyperbole — the American stretch. A village so light it must be tied down with ropes when the wind comes — the tall tale stretches the world until the truth inside it shows. — after Carl Sandburg, Rootabaga Stories (1922, US PD) (PD-1922). Entered from the street like every other landing: no rung depends on another.
