  • Heads and Tales

    Barry Tutt

    Hardcover (Angus & Robertson, Oct. 15, 1986)
    In a deep, green forest, a long way from anywhere in particular, live some of the strangest, funniest characters you've met for a long time. There's the Hypotenuse, a green frog, Andy, who thinks ants and ice-cream are the best things possible for dinner and a very intelligent mouse with a speech impediment. Together they have lots of adventures, meet quite a few interesting people, work out several puzzling problems, sing a few nonsense songs, and generally enjoy themselves. In fact their lives would be idyllic, if it weren't for the fact that lurking in the background and posing a constant threat is one of the most hideous and bad tempered creatures a forest has ever had the baad luck to accommodate? Anyone who is easily frightened, and who is likely to find the ferocity and rudeness of this beast just too horrible and scar, should skip chapters 4, 7 and 11.
