The World Is Badly Made
0 - Default Title
Description
Bedlam threatens to engulf the world-unless Oscar can stop it, which he's willing to try, provided he has an enormous breakfast first.
When the Tremblees, Arabesque's ambitious aide d'camp, stumbles across a translation of an ancient language revealing the existence of a fabled stone, he vows to find it for 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, Oscar Teabag-Dooven, his reluctant colleague Meesha and the Tieress of Arabesque race to prevent the Tremblees from plunging the world back into the Era of Bedlam, a terrifying chaos that plagued the land a thousand years ago.
Featuring stolen hearses, demolished cafés and a mad dash across Arabesque, this ludicrous journey pits intuition against ambition, where only the wildest plans stand a chance.
Welcome to the New Fable fiction genre, where fluffy just got dangerous.

"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.
