Oranges: a novella for puppets
By Alexander Forbes, with illustrations by Natalia Vanessa/
Oranges is a new novella by Alexander Forbes. It is about two puppets who do not know they are puppets and are therefore able to drive successfully across a good part of British Columbia. This tribute to Samuel Beckett is illustrated with 14 drawings by Natalia Vanessa (who also did the dazzling cover art) and it should delight all readers looking for warm humour in a world that takes itself too seriously. It might just give readers a glimpse into another world.
