Review
'[King] is an exceptional writer - warm, modern, daring and oozing sweetness and beauty' Independent on Sunday on BOXY AN STAR 'Bole's breathtaking naivety is a source of both humour and of quite striking observations of the Martian-sends-a-postcard home kind, while his inarticulate pain achieves a shocking simplicity verging on the poetic. This is an extraordinary debut' Observer on BOXY AN STAR 'Will have you wheezing with laughter after each increasingly ludicrous turn' I-D on JIM GIRAFFE 'King has one of the most imaginative and unique voices around' Esquire
Book Description
Wonderfully surreal, this wickedly naughty picture book by Daren King is strictly For Adults Only!
When Smally the Mouse decides to throw a party he doesn't expect his guests--Paula the Sexually Available Female Hedgehog, Looks Smart the Patronising Owl and The No Purpose Tortoise--to take drugs and flip out, but they do. Then Smally is left to sort out the resulting mess in this quirky and funny, illustrated book.
