Gramps and Karl took a few minutes to make a midnight snack, and Grams took all morning to clean it up. She was not having these jokers mess with her kitchen twice in a row. So when Karl reached for the mayonnaise, Grams reached for her knife.
So the two of them grabbed some cheese, ham, and some bread and headed out to find a neglected but well-tended fire. They roamed about and came to the Hydraulic Press Brick Company in the neighborhood.
Karl decided to cook his sandwich on the boiler of the contraption they used to press bricks with.
Bjorn shook his head. He decided to make capers.
"Cooking takes too long," Gramps said to Karl, shaking his head.
Gramps placed his sandwich in the opening the bricks are pressed in and disconnected the shaft from the drive. He slammed it down with such force and velocity that the change in pressure cooked and pressed the sandwich.
That is how pressed sandwiches were invented.

Following the Harry N. Abrams, Inc. tradition of the series that created Brian Froud's and Alan Lee's Faeries and Gnomes by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet, we present you with what would have been the next book in the series: Trolls: A Compendium. Trolls—do you think you know what they are? Could you be wrong?
Trolls within Scandinavian lore, myth, saga, fantasy, and folktales are actually anything magical within our northern neighbor's culture. Richly illustrated in this volume are the tales of faeries, dwarves, nissen, huldras, gods, Jotuns, draugar, ghosts, and more. Also, this book introduces our readers to the world of Trollheim, populated by Nattrolls that escaped the 17th-century Swedish colony within the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Narrated by Christopher Jonathan Hulton, who lives in the Thousand Acre Woods just after the Civil War, their tales are filled with Native American lore and tales of their neighbor, the Jersey Devil.
