A taxonomy of barnacles

Author:Galt Niederhoffer

Summary:The Barnacle sisters - Bell, Bridget, Benita, Beryl, Belinda and Beth - have been raised by their eccentric, self-made father. Now that most of the sisters have come of age, Barry Barnacle proposes a contest, a test of wits and wills that should at long last settle what is to Barry the most essential of all questions: nature or nurture?
