"Ravings of a Lunatic" is a roller-coaster poetic ride through a
young man's emotions. Here in all its glory is the megalomania,
paranoia, depression, euphoria, psychosis, defeatism, and much
more. Written mostly in an alcoholic stupor over five years of
university study, it is a vast trail of evidence of the purging of
a young man's soul. Take the ride and feel the screams.
This stunningly illustrated and heartfelt book tells the story of a
mother bear and her child, who leave their house on an adventure in
search of a star, in a warm tale of love, family and home. Look up
at the stars, so high above me. If I could just hold one, how happy
I'd be! A parent and child go in search of a star, journeying
through dark woods, accross rough seas and through snow and ice to
the top of Mount Digger-Doo in order to reach their goal, but what
will happen when they find it out of reach? This lyrical picture
book celebrates adventure, coming home, love - and the idea that
sometimes what you are looking for is right under your nose. A
relaxing and mindful read that's perfect for any parent who is
looking to soothe their child at bedtime. 'This is a lovely gentle
book, with comforting rhymes, fantastic illustrations and a
fabulous go-getting mother figure' -Just Imagine
