About this ebook
"One man and his Hare, and the events into which you are inescapably invited. Please wipe your feet before you enter the room."
Compiled by Peter Buckley since 2007, the stories in this volume follow one man and his (imaginary?) hare on a magical and irreverent road, recounted with an absurd sense of humour, a taste for the surreal, and the nostalgic flavour of an earlier age.
These curious adventures are complimented by poems that summon up moods of innocence, joy, bewilderment, and escapism, yet are leant an aspect of quiet melancholy and dark mischief. Peter evokes forgotten libraries of dusty pages, folk songs, nursery rhymes, nightmares, bedtime stories, and inexplicable occurrences.
Assuredly strange, this book can disturb and delight, as well as appear touchingly sweet. Also included are the “naïve poems” of The Small Prince, each of which spontaneously creates a world transformed in proportion.
An illustrated volume of works from the inimitable Peter Buckley. A classic, timeless, fantastical adventure explored through poetry, stories and images.
Peter and The Hare’s Fireside Companion is like an old storybook you don’t quite remember.
