About this listen

Beyond legend lies a reality so absurd it threatens to invert everything. Oscar Teabag-Dooven, poet by nature, Velvet Paw by necessity, is the only hope for a land on the brink of ignition. Some books brighten the world. This one sets it aflame.

In a world where cats and dogs act like people, absurdity reigns supreme.

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.
