Produktbeschreibung

In which bedlam threatens to envelope the world, unless Oscar can do something about it-which he's willing to consider, providing it involves an enormous breakfast first.

When the palace of Arabesque's aide d'camp, a cat named the Tremblees, stumbles upon a translation of an ancient language that reveals the existence of a fabled stone, he vows to find it for reasons of greed and vengeance.

With a dead dog stuck to a car bonnet, some burst luggage, a blind bus driver and an enormous number of olives, it becomes a race for Oscar, his colleague Meesha and the Tieress of Arabesque to prevent the Tremblees plunging Arabesque back into the Era of Bedlam, a horror that plagued the land a thousand years ago.

"Corfield blurs the boundary between rubbish and garbage, and does justice to neither." - Aiden White, Barrington Points Lighthouse Keeper.

"The plot is only held together by the book's tangled and convoluted sentences." - Tiffany Parlek, Mortal Goddess.

"A two-in-the-morning page turner, but only because each one's so hard to get through." - Pannel Norbit, Curator of Exotic Fungal Infections.

Autorenporträt

Thomas Corfield was born in London several years ago, definitely before last Thursday. This was a good year for all concerned, and for him in particular, because without it, later years would mean little. He owes a lot to that first year, and now lives because of it in undisclosed locations after having successfully absconded from probation. Although he finds making friends difficult, this is only because no one likes him. Including his mother, who didn't bother giving him a name until he was nine. His solicitor describes him as having an allergy to apostrophes and an aversion to punctuation that borders on pathological. This makes the popularity of his books all the more remarkable. At least it would if there was any. But there isn't. So it doesn't. He was recently interviewed in Joomag's Meals of Food magazine, which didn't help anyone.
