  • Coleshanger

    Norman Williams, Thomas Corfield

    language (Panda Books Australia, Jan. 24, 2016)
    “If it can be said a village has a life, then this is a biography.” Norman Williams (1908-1969)“Coleshanger people are pretty bad,” said Uncle Edward. “They won’t cross water after sunset. And they have to be in bed by midnight, otherwise they think that they'll be turned into baboons and apes. They also worship the flea.”Written in 1952, Coleshanger is a humorous, whimsical and charming recount of English village life in the early part of the last century, a tale waiting seventy years to be heard, but still very much the story of us today.

  • The World Is Badly Made

    Thomas Corfield

    language (Panda Books Australia, Jan. 23, 2016)
    Consider a world inhabited by only cats and dogs: a society recognizable as our own, but with its eccentricities being the norm, rather than the exception. A world where the charm of Kenneth Grahame’s Wind In the Willows meets the exotic world of Ian Fleming’s Bond. A world where fluffy just got dangerous. These are the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels, also known as the Dooven Books: welcome to the genre of New Fable.In this book 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.“Oscar did not expect his first assignment to involve gallivanting across foreign lands following clinically insane animals chasing fabled stones upon forgotten islands with silly names. He’d already mangled a taxi, a hearse and an aeroplane while fighting villains intent on turning the earth inside out.And that was just getting to the airport.It was most peculiar then, for him to awake and find an entire palatial entourage around his bed begging him to do precisely this. He’d instead been hoping for a nice breakfast with a pot of hot-fin, especially since his bed was warm and fluffy.”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.
