Chadwick's Wedding

By Priscilla Cummings
Illustrated by A.R. Cohen

Wedding shells are ringing! Chadwick the Crab is getting married, and everyone is preparing for the big event! Esmerelda is choosing her bridesmaids. Baron von Heron is writing the ceremony (in rhyme, of course). Toulouse, the gourmet goose, is baking a corn and eelgrass cake.

Then Chadwick begins to have second thoughts about marriage, and as if that weren't bad enough, Esmerelda disappears! Suddenly, the wedding is off and the search is on. Only then does Chadwick realize how much he loves the prettiest girl crab in all of Shady Creek.

Chadwick, whose fame has spread far beyond his Chesapeake Bay home, was created by Priscilla Cummings, a writer who lives in Annapolis with her husband and son. A.R. Cohen, an artist/illustrator working in Baltimore, brought Chadwick and the other characters to life.
