''Drummer Hoff'' is the title and main character of a children's book by Barbara and Ed Emberley. Ed Emberley won the 1968 Caldecott Medal for the book's illustrations.〔American Library Association: (Caldecott Medal Winners, 1938 - Present ). URL accessed 27 May 2009.〕 Written by Barbara Emberley, it tells a cumulative tale of seven soldiers who build a cannon named the "Sultan", and Drummer Hoff, who fires it off, with the book exploding into a blast of colors. The last picture shows the exploded cannon at a future point in time among wildflowers and birds. The illustrations evoke both 1960s psychedelica and Colonial American engravings. In 1969 it was transformed into an animated 6 minute theatrical short, directed by Gene Deitch and produced by Morton Schindel of Weston Woods Studios. It was released on DVD in 2008.〔Scholastic Storybook Treasures, http://store.scholastic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_null_47812_-1_10052_10051〕 ==Characters (in order of appearance)== *Drummer Hoff; the king's drummer *Private Parriage; the private of Drummer Hoff who brought the carriage *Corporal Farrell; the corporal who got the barrel *Sergeant Chowder; the sergeant who got the powder *Captain Bammer; the captain who got the rammer *Major Scott; the major who got the shot (cannonball) *General Border; the general horse rider who gave Drummer Hoff the order to fire Each soldier's name rhymes with a step in the process of firing the gun, e.g. General Border gives the order, Sergeant Chowder brings the powder. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Drummer Hoff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
