description: This is classic Simon Drew. Nothing is as we would expect and the familiar is ingeniously and continuously turned on its head to startle us with the unexpected. In this dreamlike world serious-faced animals are on equal footing with unsmiling humans and the humour is all in the eye and mind of the beholder.In addition to being a proficient artist, Simon Drew is a skilful manipulator of words. He takes an obvious delight in their sounds, meanings and associations and, like all good nonsense wordmongers, he restores them to their primitive magic. 'The hound of the basketballs' mingles happily with 'those dark satanic moles' while his cows remain somewhat quizzical about the delights of 'double grazing'.The humour is quirky and distinctive and it is no surprise that Drew has addicted fans who become hooked on his timeless through-the-looking-glass universe.'A great book. I couldn't stop putting it down.' - a member of the royal family.
